This is the first name of my daughter given to her by her father who is hispanic. We do not know the meaning of the name or its origin, if its latin base or arabic base. I have seen an arabic translation of Aixa to mean ice but no true difinition of the word. Help! Please give clues as to origin and if you can the meaning. Thanks alot, Kim

Aixa comes from the days when Spain -- chiefly the kingdom of Granada -- was ruled by the Moors. It is a Moorish/Hispanic form of the Arabic name "Aishah", meaning "alive". It was popular among the Moors because Aishah was the favorite wife of the Prophet Muhammad.
