Isla:
Actress Isla Lang Fisher was born on February 3, 1976.
Born to Scottish parents in Muscat, Oman where her father worked for the UN, Isla’s family moved to Australia when she was six where she spent her childhood and began her successful acting career.
Isla Fisher introduced this gorgeous Scottish name to the rest of the world. In 2004 only 35 baby girls were given the name Isla in the US, but following Fisher’s acting breakthrough in 2005 Isla shot up the charts. Isla entered the US Top 1000 in 2008 and now sits as high as #36.
Isla is gaining attention globally, ranking #2 in native Scotland, #3 in England as well as Australia, and also making the Top 50 in Ireland, Finland, and Canada.
Pronounced “EYE-la" — as in the beginning sounds of the word Island — Isla feels summery and bright. For a more distinctive alternative, try the original form of the Scottish island name — Islay.
I am a writer, and I'm using the character Isla as the min character. I THINK ITS A wonderful name.
I knew an Islay in elementary school, in the 70s! Ahead of the curve.
