How is this name pronounced?

[bobblehead]

Eilish

Is it eye-lish

or

ay- lish?

and what are its origins

tia

I know one who says it the second way. Think it is Irish? maybe?

I would say- eye-lish

I'd say Ay - lish. Irish origin...

ay-lish

My friend is called Eilish, pronounced eye-lish.

I like eye-lish best, but don't want to be forever told I'm pronouncing my childs name wrong!

If it is from Ireland it is pronounced eye-lish.

According to the internet (which as we know is the ultimate authority on everything ):
It can be pronounce either way.
Some claim it is gaelic in orgin and some claim it is hebrew.

It means god is my oath.

And can be derived from either Ellis or Elizabeth depending on what you read.

oh ok

I'm thinking of rhe scottish eilidh which isdefinitely ay-lie. Not so sure about irish

It is my dd2's name!!

We pronounce it eye-lish, but have heard it pronounced ay-lish - we are in Scotland and a lot of people call her ay-lish (presumably because Eilidh (ay-lie) is a popular name here)

We picked it for its Irish origins and I have heard it pronounced both ways by Irish people.

ay-lish def irish origins meaning "Oath of God"

Btw, I know two Eilishes (as well as dd2 obviously) - both are Irish. One is Eye-lish and one is Ay-lish.

its Ay-lish (like the letter "A")

(my best friends aunt is scottish and has this name, think she origintaes from irelnad as well)

you could spell it Iylish and make it really obvious how you want it pronounced...

Ay-lish

Irish origin meaning Oath of God

sorry if that is repeating what has already been posted

Nice name either way. Lovely.

I think so

Now just need to work on the middle name....

I know a woman who was spelled Eilish but pronounced her name elise...but I would have no idea if that is actually correctly pronounced or not....lol....
