Etymology & Historical Origin of the Baby Name Asha

Asha is a name that reminds us of Maya/Maia – it’s a name of many meanings, and a lovely one at that!  The name is most commonly associated with the Sanskrit आशा   (asha) meaning “wish, desire, hope.” It is also from a Swahili word meaning “life.”  Asha is also related to the Arabic عائشة (‘Aisha) meaning “alive” and the Hebrew אָשֵׁר (Asher) meaning “happy.” We also connect this name to the ash tree, a tree of high spiritual importance to the ancient Celtic and Norse people, and one that is symbolic of protectiveness.  In Nordic mythology, the first man sprung from the ash tree; while in Celtic mythology, the ash tree was considered a Gentle Giant and the guardian protector of all children.
