History & Origin

Myisha is an American spelling of Aisha or Ayesha, from Arabic aisha, 'alive' or 'living', a name held in great honor in Islamic tradition. As the name grew among American families in the later twentieth century, phonetic spellings like Myisha, Myesha and Moesha appeared alongside the classic Aisha.

This spelling reached its high point around 1980 and stayed uncommon. A woman named Myisha then is now in her mid-forties. Aisha remains the standard form; because the My- spelling would mislead an English reader toward 'my', the audio is guided from the respelling, and Mya makes a natural short form.

Did you know? Myisha carries one of the most revered names in Islam — Aisha, 'living' — respelled the way it is often said in the United States; the spelling crested around 1980 as the name spread among American families.
