About Ailish
This Anglicized spelling makes the pronunciation of Ailís or Aileas — the Irish and Scottish forms of Alice, respectively — slightly more obvious to English-speakers. Ailis or Aileas are more authentic spellings, but may be fighting a losing battle against the influence of Billie Eilish.
Pronounced AY-lish.
As of October 2026, Ailish ranked #10955 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #3926 in 2016.
