Ayslin is Irish in Origin.

Ayslin is a modern English respelling of the Irish name Aislinn/Aisling, rooted in Irish Gaelic aisling 'dream, vision' (Old Irish aislinge). While Aisling is the dictionary form, the given name commonly appears as Aislinn in Ireland and abroad, carrying the sense of 'dream' or 'vision'.

The word aisling names a celebrated 17th-18th century poetic genre in which Ireland appears as a woman in a visionary dream, a cultural association that helped the given name rise in Ireland in the late 20th century. From there it traveled to other English-speaking countries, where variant spellings multiplied. Related forms include Aisling, Aislinn, Aislin, Aislín (Irish orthography), and the Anglicized Ashlyn/Ashlynn; the latter can also derive independently from Ashley + Lynn, so it has dual origins. Ayslin and Ayslinn are contemporary, less common variants favored for their streamlined look while preserving the meaning 'dream; vision'.
