Answer :
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
We were unable to retrace the origins of the name Alesha in the Arabic language.[1] Alesha is a variant of the feminine name Alicia, which comes from the same origin as Alice. The names are derived from a German word that means ‘Noble’.[2]
It is not advisable to keep the name Alesha as it has a western origin. Name have an impact on the character and conduct of the child. We advise you choose the names of the Sahabiyyaat and pious women in Islam. A similar name to Alesha is Ayesha. You may also choose other names such as Hafsa, Rumaysa, Juwayriyya, Saliha, Maymuna, or any other great Islamic name.
