Aishah -
special from day one

In fact, the name Aishah hardly fits the trend of first names for girls. Between 1976 and 1999, young parents changed that a bit. For many years, Aishah wasn't given at all (or at least less than 5 times, because that's the number required for a name to appear in the statistics), but by 1981, the name was more popular than ever. Although the name never ranked higher than position 2,826, 28 parents chose it in 1981 as a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Aishah, you were already special when you were born - and you did your best to become a trendsetter.

In years where the graph has no value, the name Aishah was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.

Aishah - originality welcome!

In 2022, expectant parents chose the rare name Aishah a few times. Among all newborn girls, it ranked 5,851, for a total of 17 babies.

As Aishah seems to be a bit more popular in the middle of the 20th century, it proves to remain a great rarity in 2022.
