Aisleen is Irish in Origin.

Aisleen is a modern Anglicized respelling of the Irish name Aislinn/Aisling, from Irish Gaelic aisling meaning "dream, vision." The name draws from the aisling literary genre of 17th-18th century Irish poetry, in which a visionary woman symbolizes the nation. As a given name it was rarely used before the 20th century but rose sharply in Ireland and the diaspora from the 1970s onward, paralleling the cultural revival of Irish forms. Aisleen tends to signal a phonetic preference for the "leen" ending and is most common in Britain, North America, and Australia.

Variants include Aisling (standard Irish), Aislinn, Aislín, Ashleen, and less often Aishleen. Diminutives and nicknames: Ash, Aish, Leen. Typical pronunciations are ASH-leen or ASH-lin, with regional variation. Meaning centers on inspiration and dreams, evoking "vision" or "poetic dream."
