What does Aisha mean?
Aisha (عائشة, 'A'isha) derives from the Arabic root '-y-sh ('to live'), giving the sense 'living, alive, thriving'. It is historically significant as the name of 'A'isha bint Abi Bakr, a wife of the Prophet Muhammad. Common transliteration variants include Aysha, Ayesha and Ayisha.
What does Amira mean?
Arabic 'amira', the feminine of 'amir' ('prince, commander, ruler'), meaning 'princess'. Royal but not literally 'queen' — the root a-m-r concerns command/rule. (A separate Hebrew name Amira means 'speech/treetop'.)
