Ailsa is a name of Scottish origin, linked to the small island of Ailsa Craig. While it's meaning is still debated, Encyclopaedia Brittanica states the name Ailsa Craig is from the Scots Gaelic Ailsae Craig meaning “Fairy Rock”. This is likely influenced by the Norse name for the island Alfsigesey meaning "Alfsigr's island". Alfsgir is from the Norse alf meaning "elf" and sigr meaning "victory".

Ailsa brings to mind the rugged granite cliffs, roaring waves, clusters of elder trees, and the cloudy wings of the sea birds found on the high cliffs. It is a cool, misty name.
