Meaning name "Esha" / "Eesha" / "Isha"

In sanskrit & kannada, 'Eesha' / 'Isha' means 'Lord' oftenly refered to lord 'Eeshwara'.
Gramatical usage:-
Gana + Eesha / Isha= Ganesha
Maha + Eesha/ Isha = Mahesha
Ravi + Eesha / Isha= Ravisha / Raveesha < Lord of Sun>
Venkata + Eesha/ Isha = Venkatesha
Rama + Eesha/ Isha = Ramesha < Lord /husband of Godess Sita >
Uma+ Esha/ Isha = Umesha < Lord Shiva / Husband of Uma/Parvathi>
etc. This modification of name is an example of 'Guna sandhi' 'a' kaara + 'i' kaara = e' kaar .
But, in English as it is very flexible we will tend to use 'E' , ''EE' and 'I' interchangeably according to regional pronunciation and practice.

I am not satisfied with the explanation you gave of your name. Isha means lord, but it is prevalent as a feminine name and could have a different meaning like desire, pleasure. Also, whatever names you have tried to explain are all masculine names and have "Ish" not "Isha" in the end. Being an Indian you should be aware of that. I would be able to give an explanation sometime later.

English spellings are difficult to deal with. But see http://www.behindthename.com/bb/arcview.php?id=247817&board=gen for the desire etc. root; and http://www.behindthename.com/bb/arcview.php?id=171626&board=gen for the god meaning (Just from the point of view of maintaing the connotation, master often works better than lord when translating Isha).

And sounds matter. Aisha is an Arabic name which might have prompted people to find similar Sanskrit names.

I was just wishing you were here to explain. I have my limits in knowledge.
