Ayşə
Ayşə Origin and Meaning
Ayşə is the Azerbaijani variant of Aisha, a feminine name with deep Islamic significance. The name derives from Arabic origins meaning 'alive' or 'she who lives.' Its most famous bearer was Aisha bint Abu Bakr, a beloved wife of the Prophet Muhammad and an important figure in Islamic history known for her intelligence and contribution to Islamic tradition. In Azerbaijan and other Turkic regions, Ayşə represents both cultural heritage and religious devotion. The specific spelling with the ş character (pronounced like 'sh') reflects the Azerbaijani language's phonetics and alphabet. While uncommon in Western countries, Ayşə is a treasured name in regions with Azerbaijani, Turkish, and broader Muslim populations, symbolizing vitality, wisdom, and cultural continuity.
