Girl name · 77 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Aiza: 77 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 8 births in 2015.

Aiza is a name with multiple origins, most commonly linked to the Arabic Aisha, meaning “alive” or “living,” and found across Urdu and other South Asian languages—a cherished choice for its gentle sound. One notable bearer is Filipino singer and actress Aiza Seguerra, known for winning a Palme d’Or performance at Cannes as a child. While no major places are named directly after an Aiza, the name shares its root with Aisha, a figure after whom several mosques and schools worldwide are named. Further note: In Scotland, Aiza has risen in popularity since the early 2000s, often chosen by families drawn to its cross-cultural appeal and the easy, melodic rhythm that works well in both English and Gaelic contexts.
