Origin
English, Gaelic, Scottish
Cheerful and spirited, this name practically bubbles with personality and youthful energy. Its compact structure belies the amount of character it packs into just two syllables, creating an immediate impression of approachability and warmth. The 'ai' combination gives it a contemporary feel while the name itself has vintage roots, resulting in that sought-after vintage-modern fusion. It's delightfully unpretentious—a name that suggests someone down-to-earth, friendly, and genuine. The soft sounds make it particularly endearing when spoken, perfect for cooing over a baby yet sophisticated enough to grow with her. British influence gives it a certain cosmopolitan flair without being pretentious. This name suits various personalities beautifully, from quiet bookworms to exuberant performers, never boxing the bearer into a particular stereotype or expectation.
