Aishat

Meaning of Aishat

Aishat is a name that whispers warmth and vitality with every syllable. Rooted in Arabic and cherished across West Africa—especially in Nigeria—it’s a variant of Aisha, meaning “living” or “life.” Pronounced eye-SHAHT (/aɪ.ʃɑt/), Aishat carries an uplifting energy, like the glow of an early sunrise promising new beginnings. In the United States she remains beautifully uncommon—just five to ten newborns a year choose this name, placing it in the high 900s on the popularity charts—which means your little Aishat is unlikely to share her name on the playground. Yet despite its rarity here, Aishat feels instantly familiar, evoking stories of kindness, resilience, and joy in every culture she touches. For parents seeking a name that’s both globally resonant and distinctly personal, Aishat offers a gentle but unwavering reminder: life is a bright adventure, and your daughter is born to shine.
