What is the name of the youngest Banks daughter?

The youngest Banks daughter is Ashley Banks. She is the third child of Philip and Vivian Banks and the younger sister of Hilary and Carlton in the original sitcom.

Ashley is portrayed by Tatyana Ali, who played the character throughout all six seasons of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, from 1990 to 1996. As Will Smith’s cousin, Ashley often becomes his ally, student, or partner in comic schemes. Their relationship gives the series many of its lighter family stories, while also allowing Ashley to develop from a sheltered child into a more independent teenager.

A key distinction is that Ashley is the youngest daughter, not the youngest Banks child overall. Nicky Banks, the family’s son, is introduced during Season 3 and is younger than Ashley. That is why “Nicky” would not be the correct answer to this exact wording, even though he later becomes the youngest child in the household.

Ashley also has storylines involving music, school, identity, and growing independence. Her character is sometimes confused with Vivian Banks, who is Ashley’s mother, or Hilary Banks, her older sister.
