Girl name · 3 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Iesha: 3 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 3 births in 2010.
Iesha is a name with multiple possible origins, most commonly considered a creative variant of Aisha, which derives from the Arabic root *‘-y-sh*, meaning "alive" or "living." In English-speaking contexts, it gained popularity during the late 20th century as part of a broader trend of names beginning with "I" or "E" and ending in "sha," with influences from African American naming traditions. While there are no widely known historical figures by this exact spelling, the name shares its root with Aisha bint Abu Bakr, one of the Prophet Muhammad’s wives and a prominent figure in Islam. There is no known place named Iesha, though the variant Iesha may occasionally appear in fiction. The name’s rhythmic, melodic sound gives it a modern, global feel while retaining its ancient, life-affirming meaning.
