Meaning & Story
An Irish form of Elizabeth, meaning 'my God is an oath' or 'my God is abundance' — an Irish take on a classically biblical name.
Ailish is the Irish-language version of Elizabeth, carrying all of that venerable name's meaning through the musical filter of the Irish tongue. It has a soft, lilting quality — the -ish ending gives it a distinctly Gaelic feel that sets it apart from its international counterparts. This name suits a graceful, spirited female dog or cat with Irish heritage or an owner who loves Gaelic culture. It sounds both ancient and beautifully modern.
