Alaysha is a modern American spelling that blends Alisha, a form of Alice from the Germanic Adalheidis, "noble kind", with the sound of the Arabic Aisha, "alive". Like many names of its generation it was shaped by sound rather than by a single source. In the United States Alaysha ranked number 1900 in 2000, peaked at number 1660 in 2001 and stands at number 2542 in 2025 after years around number 3500.
