Aesha is a female given name of Arabic origin and a variant of Aisha, deriving from the root “ʿayn-shīn-yā” meaning “life” or “she who lives.” Historically associated with Aisha bint Abu Bakr, one of the Prophet Muhammad’s wives, the name evokes qualities of vitality and resilience. In the United States, Aesha remains uncommon—fewer than ten newborn girls received the name annually in recent years, ranking around 942nd in 2024—so it’s unlikely to appear twice on a classroom roster. Pronounced AY-shuh (/ˈeɪʃə/) in English, Aesha offers cultural depth in a distinctive spelling, appealing to parents who seek a meaningful yet quietly memorable choice.
