Isha is a Sanskrit name usually explained as "ruler" or "goddess", a feminine form of Isha, lord, and a title of the goddess Durga; it also names one of the oldest Upanishads. In Hebrew isha is simply the word for "woman", so the name is read in two traditions. In the United States Isha reached its best rank of number 1,085 in 2002 and sits at number 1,276 in 2025.
