Ayse is the Turkish form of Aisha, an Arabic name meaning "alive" or "living," deeply rooted in Islamic tradition through Aisha bint Abi Bakr, a wife of the Prophet Muhammad. Notable bearers include the acclaimed Turkish author Ayşe Kulin, known for her novels about modern Turkish history, and Ayşe Hafsa Sultan, the first Valide Sultan (queen mother) of the Ottoman Empire.
