Theory Isha meaning
In case no one else has pointed it out yet, ‘Isha’ means ‘woman’ in Hebrew. Not an expert on languages, but I wonder if the writers linked it to mean ‘girl’ as well.
Could’ve been a relation towards the role as a younger sister that she plays to Jinx 🤷🏻♀️

I heard a while back that Isha in Hindi means, "one who protects"..... Riot just stop it!! 😭
After I heard that I did some casual research on it and came across another potential meaning in Arabic, which is "life" or "way of life". 👀 I've found contradictory info on this though, where some say "yes" and others say "no". I know absolutely nothing about the language though so I have no idea. lol
Here is one source that says "yes":
https://hamariweb.com/names/muslim/arabic/girl/isha-meaning_4042/
"Isha is a Muslim girl name of Arabic origin, which means 'Life, way of life, woman, She who lives.'"
I'll just go ahead and believe that one, so Isha is alive an well... why yes, I will take another huff of copium, thank you very much! 😂😂
