This name was gathered as part of a local research project on the place-names of Strath, Isle of Skye and was published in a booklet by SNH and AÀA. The Following quote appears in that booklet:
“Nearby are two rivers, Abhainn Aisig and Abhainn Lusa, although these rivers (aibhnichean) are hardly longer than the nearby burns (uillt).”
