Meaning & origin
Eisa represents a cross-cultural name bridging Arabic and Western contexts. First recorded in U.S. data in 2003, it reached its peak rank of 6,803 in 2016, with a birth rate of 1 in 142,340 in 2025. Since 2016, the name has been on a falling trajectory, reflecting broader trends in less common religious names. Eisa is used for both genders but more often for boys, and it has not yet shown significant regional concentration in the United States.
Eisa is the Arabic form of Jesus, derived from the Hebrew Yeshua via Aramaic and Greek. It is used across the Muslim world as the name of a major prophet, and in Christian Arab communities as well. The name entered English-speaking usage primarily through Muslim families and has seen modest modern adoption.
