Ashe is a gender-neutral name whose origins span the globe. As a British choice, Ashe comes from Ash and means “ash tree clearing.” The ash tree was a symbol of protection to Vikings and Gaels alike. While this unique name isn’t the most common among the stars, 90s kids who are now welcoming their own might find their inspiration in a poké ball thanks to Ash Ketchum from Pokémon. Ashe is also a Yoruba name for girls, beloved in West Africa, from àṣẹ, meaning “command,” “power,” and “authority.” The essence of àṣẹ is that of life and energy, a natural force that keeps the flow of the world going. While you may want to keep baby Ashe safe and sound at home, they will know that adventure awaits, and they are more than powerful enough to take on the world.
