Origin and meaning of Aisha
Aisha comes from the Arabic ʿĀʾisha (عائشة), 'living, prosperous', from the root meaning life. The name carries great historical and religious weight in the Islamic world, being that of one of the Prophet Muhammad's wives, remembered as a learned narrator of tradition. It is extremely common across Muslim countries, from North Africa to South Asia, and increasingly present in Europe; variants such as Aicha, Ayesha and Aishah accompany its international spread.
