So this is a Latvian form of Ashley. I went on the Latvian wikipedia page and it looks like they adapt all foreign names into Latvian. Some of them come out looking quite pretty to me and fresher to some dated names. Common male on female names take on a feminine vibe when they add the feminine suffixes. I googled to see if Ešlija (ESH-lee-yah), has been used in Latvia and I already ran into a few profiles of little girls with this name, and some calendars are including it. Other interesting adaptations of non-Latvian names (I got these from the Latvian wiki of American, Canadian and Australian actresses)
