Aileah

Aileah is a modern feminine name that appears to be a variant spelling of Ailey, Aili, or possibly a creative adaptation of Aaliyah. The name may have Scottish Gaelic influences, where similar names relate to 'light' or 'from the field.' This contemporary spelling creates a unique name with a melodic, flowing quality. The 'leah' ending connects it to the popular biblical name Leah, meaning 'weary' or 'delicate' in Hebrew. Aileah remains quite uncommon, appealing to parents seeking distinctive names with traditional sounds. The name has a gentle rhythm with its three syllables (ai-le-ah) and combines soft consonants with open vowel sounds to create an inherently feminine impression.

Pronounced AY-lee-uh.

As of October 2026, Aileah ranked #14635 in US births in 2014 SSA, peaked at #5895 in 2009.
