Girl name · 11 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Esha: 11 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 4 births in 2006.
Esha is a name of Sanskrit origin, meaning "desire" or "wish", and also appears as a variant of the Arabic Aisha, meaning "alive" or "living". For English and Scottish speakers, the Sanskrit root is most familiar, giving the name a gentle, aspirational quality. Notable bearers include Indian actresses Esha Gupta and Esha Deol, both celebrated in Bollywood. No major place connections exist, but the name shares its etymological root with the Hindu goddess Isha, adding a spiritual dimension. In Scotland, Esha has been a consistent presence on baby name lists since the 1970s, reflecting the country's multicultural community. Its soft sound and cross-cultural appeal make it a graceful choice for modern families.
