Aoise does mean age as does "aois".

I would guess that people who are using it as a name were looking for an alternative to Aisha/Ayesha etc and picked up on this spelling.

Aoise would not be usually used as an name in Ireland (though I did come across two Aoises when I googled) nor as a shortening for Laoise, Naoise etc.
