It originated from Aisha, the youngest wife of the Islamic prophet, Muhammad, and is a very popular name among Muslim women.
Ayesha is a common variant spelling in the Arab World and countries with a high population of Sunni Muslims such as the United States, where it was ranked 2,020 out of 4,275 for females of all ages in the 1990 US Census.[1] The name Ayesha was briefly popular among English-speakers after it appeared in the book She by Rider Haggard, as well as the song "Aicha"[2] by French Algerian singer Khaled.
