Ayşe is Arabic, Turkish in Origin.
Ayşe is the Turkish form of Arabic ʿĀʾisha, written عائشة, the feminine active participle of ʿāsha, to live, from the Semitic root ʿ-y-sh. In Arabic morphology the pattern fāʿila gives the sense living or alive, with the final -a marking feminine gender. Turkish adapted the name phonologically and orthographically: Arabic sh is represented by ş, and the vowel sequence was reshaped as Ayşe.
The name is anchored in Islamic history through ʿĀʾisha bint Abī Bakr, wife of the Prophet Muhammad and an important transmitter of hadith. Ayşe became the standard Ottoman and modern Turkish form, common in Turkey and Turkish-speaking communities, while Aisha, Ayesha, Aïcha, and Aixa reflect Arabic, South Asian, French, and Iberian transmission. In English-language use, Aisha became more visible in the late twentieth century, but Ayşe remains chiefly associated with Turkish naming.
