History & Origin
Ayasha is best read as a variant of Ayesha or Aisha, the Arabic name meaning 'living' or 'she who lives'. It also turns up in American lists of Native American names, so its route is genuinely uncertain, which we note. Either way it is a soft, three-beat name that echoes the far more common Aisha.
