Ayslinn is a contemporary respelling of the Irish given name Aislinn, drawn from the Gaelic word aisling meaning “dream” or “vision,” especially a poetic vision.

In Ireland the name is linked to the aisling literary genre of the 17th–18th centuries, in which a visionary woman symbolized the nation. As a first name it rose in use in the late 20th century in Ireland and among the diaspora, later spreading in North America where creative spellings like Ayslinn appeared. Close variants include Aisling (standard Irish), Aislinn, Aishling, Ashlin, Ashlinn, and Ashlyn/Ashlynn (often treated as related through sound). Short forms include Ais/Aish and Ash.
