Meaning today
Replacement, substitute
In the dictionaries
The name isn't in the classical dictionaries we use, so it is most likely a modern name. The meaning above is how families commonly use it.
Aiza is a modern name, used in Pakistan and among Indian Muslims, whose origin has not been settled. It is not found as a word in the classical Arabic or Persian dictionaries, and families write it in more than one way in Urdu. Baby-name sites most often explain it as 'a replacement' or 'substitute', in the sense of a blessing given in place of something lost. That idea matches the Arabic root ʿ-w-ḍ, where Lane's lexicon gives ʿiwaḍ as a replacement or compensation given by God or by a person, but no reliable source shows that the name comes from it. Other suggestions, such as a link with Aisha or Aida, are also unproven.
