What is the meaning of the name Aysen ?

The baby name Aysen is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced Turkish IPA: [ajˈʃen]; English approximation: "eye-SHEN".

Aysen is Turkish in Origin.

Aysen is the diacritic-free form of Turkish Ayşen, a feminine given name built from ay “moon” and şen “cheerful, merry.” It conveys images of moonlight and festivity - often interpreted as “merry like the moon” or “bright, joyful as the moon.” In Turkish it’s pronounced roughly eye-SHEHN.

The name took hold in 20th‑century Turkey during a wave of modern compound names featuring Ay-, and it remains familiar through everyday use and popular culture, spreading with the Turkish diaspora across Europe. Variants and transliterations include Ayşen (standard Turkish), Aysen (international), and Ayshen (English-influenced). Related moon names include Aysun and Aylin, though they are distinct. In Spanish contexts Aysén exists as a place name in Patagonia and sometimes a given name, but it is etymologically separate. Nicknames for Ayşen/Aysen can be Şen. Overall, Aysen blends soft lunar imagery with an upbeat, sociable meaning.
