The baby name Aisyah is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced Classical Arabic: [ʕaːˈiːʃa] (approx. ah-EE-shah),Common English/Malay: /ˈaɪʃə/ (EYE-shah),Malay/Indonesian variant: (ai-syah).
Aisyah is Arabic, Indonesian in Origin.
Aisyah is the Malay/Indonesian transliteration of the Arabic feminine name ʿĀʾishah (عائشة), from the root ʿ-y-sh meaning “to live,” and thus “alive,” “living,” or “prosperous.” The form preserves the long ā and glottal stop of the original while adapting to Malay orthography. It conveys associations of vitality, life, and well-being in Islamic culture and everyday use.
The name became prominent through Aisha bint Abi Bakr, a renowned narrator of Hadith and wife of the Prophet Muhammad, which propelled its adoption across the Muslim world. Regional variants include Aisha/Aishah, Ayesha/Aysha (South Asia), Aïcha (Francophone North Africa), Ayşe (Turkish), Aiša (Bosnian/Serbo-Croatian), Asha and Somali Caasha (East Africa), and Aishat (West Africa). In Malaysia, Brunei, and Indonesia, Aisyah is the standard modern spelling and remains steadily popular.
