Aizah

Girl name · 73 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Aizah: 73 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 11 births in 2019.

Rooted in Arabic, Aizah is a variant of Aisha, meaning “alive” or “living,” and carries the same gentle strength found in the name of the Prophet Muhammad’s beloved wife. In modern times, the Pakistani actress Aiza Khan has brought the name into popular culture, though its elegant simplicity has made it a growing choice for parents across different backgrounds. There are no direct place connections, but the name shares its root with many spellings—Ayesha, Aysha, Aisha—each equally lyrical. Aizah offers a fresh, slightly streamlined take on a classic, appealing to families who value tradition with a subtle contemporary twist.
