Aïcha

A North African and French inspired variation of the Arabic Aisha, Aïcha (and its counterpart Aicha) have skyrocketed in France since 2011. In the last decade, it has shifted from outside the popularity charts to a Top 100 choice. The name may have been popularized by the 1996 song Aïcha by Khaled, which topped the French music charts.

Pronounced ah-EE-shah.
