Aisla

Aisla is a feminine name that appears to be a variant of Aislinn (Irish) or possibly Isla (Scottish). If derived from Aislinn (Aisling), it has Irish Gaelic origins meaning 'dream' or 'vision.' If related to Isla, it connects to the Scottish island of Islay or the Spanish word for 'island.' This particular spelling creates a distinctive name that maintains Celtic roots while offering a simplified pronunciation (typically 'AY-la' or 'EYE-la'). The name has a delicate, flowing quality with its gentle consonants and open vowel sounds. While not among common names in English-speaking countries, Aisla offers an appealing alternative for parents drawn to Celtic-inspired names but seeking something less frequently used than its more popular counterparts.

Pronounced AYZ-la.

As of October 2026, Aisla ranked #5241 for girls in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #4882 for girls in 2020.
