What Does the Name Zaisha Mean?
Zaisha is a feminine name used chiefly in South Asia. No clearly documented etymology has been established for it. It is sometimes connected with the Arabic root ʿ-y-sh, meaning "to live," which is the source of ʿĀʾishah (Aisha), meaning "living" or "alive." The initial Z is not accounted for by that root, however, and the link is not certain, so the meaning is best treated as uncertain rather than as a settled translation.
Zaisha Name History & Origins
Zaisha is recorded as a feminine given name among South Asian Muslim families, in India and Pakistan, and in South Asian diaspora communities.
