Boy name · 6 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Eisa: 6 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 3 births in 2005.
A name with multiple heritage threads, Eisa is primarily an Arabic name meaning “God is salvation,” serving as the Quranic form of Jesus and holding deep significance in Islamic tradition. It also appears as a Japanese name meaning “blessing” or “prosperity,” and can be a short form of the Scottish Gaelic Ìosa, itself a rendering of the same biblical name. The most famous bearer is Eisa bin Salman Al Khalifa, the former Emir of Bahrain who modernised the nation from 1961 to 1999. While no direct Scottish place connections exist, the name’s Gaelic variant has been used in Scotland for centuries, giving it a quiet link to the country’s religious and linguistic history. In modern times, Eisa has appeared occasionally on Scottish birth registers, reflecting the nation’s growing multicultural naming landscape.
