"Traditional name"
The name Islay is commonly a female name.
Islay is the name of the southernmost island of the Inner Hebrides, in Argyll and Bute, Scotland, known in Scottish Gaelic as Ile. The island name is the source of the given name Isla, and Islay itself is also used as a girl's name in Scotland, spelled as the island is. The origin of the island's own name is a matter of uncertainty among place-name scholars, so no meaning is given here.
