What is the meaning to the name Aislyn?

A lot of names have a meaning behind them. Example Coa means warrior in Hawaiian.

What is the meaning to the name Aislyn?
The meaning of the name Aislyn is derived from a Gaelic expression meaning 'vision' and/or 'dreams'. It is also considered a variant of the Irish and Gaelic name Aisling, which has the name meaning.





The name Aisling is pronounced ASH-ling (in fact, the


'English' or 'pheonetic' version of this name is spelt Ashling), so I would assume that Aislyn is pronounced ASH-lin. I think that the phoenetic spelling of Aislyn is Ashlynn.





It's quite an unusual and pretty name, as I rarely hear the name Aisling or any of it's variants. I'm surprised that the name is not more common as it does follow some popular naming trends (e.g. it shares the sound 'Ash' with the name Ashley and the 'lynn' sound with trendy names like Caitlin and Madelyn). It is a nice, refreshing name without being to odd. I really like it.
Reply:Aislyn means spirit.
Reply:Ashling, Aislin, Aislinn (Pronounced Ash-ling)


From aislinge which means "a vision" or "a dream," Aisling is the name given to a popular poetic genre from the 17th and 18th centuries in which Ireland is personified as a beautiful woman in peril.


A very popular name in Ireland now.
