Asīlah (أصيلة) is an authentic Arabic feminine name derived from the triliteral root Ṣ-L (ص ل), conveying notions of nobility, genuineness and original lineage. The adjective 'asīl/ṣīl' in Arabic classical usage describes something original, noble, or of pure descent; the feminine Asīlah captures these qualities as a personal name. It is not a Quranic proper name but fits comfortably within Islamic naming conventions and is used in Arab, and by extension Muslim, naming practice. Related or similar names include [[Aseel]] and [[Asiya]].
