Girl name · 6 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Aiysha: 6 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 3 births in 1991.
Aiysha, a name of Arabic origin, is a variant of Aisha, meaning "living" or "prosperous." It is most famously borne by Aisha bint Abu Bakr, one of the Prophet Muhammad's wives, revered in Islam for her intellect and role in early Islamic history. While the name doesn't have a direct Scottish place connection, its graceful sound has made it popular among diverse communities. A notable spelling variant, Ayesha, gained Western recognition through H. Rider Haggard's novel "She," featuring the immortal queen Ayesha—a different figure, but one that gave the name a romantic, mystical aura in literature. In Scotland, Aiysha has been a modern choice, reflecting the country's multicultural naming trends.
