Help[Facts] Re: Aoise
in reply to a message by Lethe
Aoise does mean age as does "aois".
I would guess that people who are using it as a name were looking for an alternative to Aisha/Ayesha etc and picked up on this spelling.
Aoise would not be usually used as an name in Ireland (though I did come across two Aoises when I googled) nor as a shortening for Laoise, Naoise etc.

Thanks, that's what I thought, shame though because I quite like the sound. I'm not sure about it coming from Aisha though, I wouldn't have thought that people who like the name Aisha would be the same who like very Irish names and where would they find it as an alternative other than in an Irish dicitonary? so I'm still interested in where it might have come from.
