Aisha means either 'life', 'alive and well' or 'she who lives'. The name Aisha is of Arabic origin and has been around for hundreds of years. It is linked to the Arabic moon goddess and Aisha was also the third wife of Muhammad in historic texts. She was said to be the daughter of one of the prophet's friends. This is a name for a strong and 'alive' woman.
Aisha is a popular name but is not as popular as most names. At the moment it is ranked as one of the 700 top girls names in the United States of America, but in the early 90s it was as high as 400 in this list of most popular names of the children born in that decade. There seems to be no correlation in when the name is popular and then less popular again. It has always been a popular name in the Middle East and Africa.
There are lots of different spellings of the name and there are also many different ways that it can be pronounced.
Aisha was a film in 2010 and was said to be based around Jane Austin's 'Emma'.
