What does this name actually mean?
Hello My name is Issata and migrated to the US from DRC. My father, however, is from Guinea. On a journey to self, I have been trying to find the meaning of this name, but no one seems to know. It's a popular Muslim West African name though commonly spelled Aissatou or Aissata. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The poster below is right. Aissata and Aissatou seem to be French variants of Aisha so your name means "alive, living" in Arabic, which makes sense since French is the official language of Guinea and the DRC.
