History & Origin
Alsha is a short modern name whose most likely sources are Alisha and Aisha. Alisha runs back through Alicia to Adelaide, meaning noble; Aisha is a well-known Arabic name meaning living or alive. Alsha compresses those sounds into a two-syllable form, and the intended route differs from family to family, which we note.
Alsha was never common, given to only about twenty girls a year at its faint peak in the late nineteen-seventies. A girl named Alsha then is in her late forties today.
