Dear Ayan,
So kind of you to reply to our inquiry. It was a pleasure browsing through your family's website that your father has so diligently created. Our best wishes to him on his successful journey as a surgeon and as the family historian.
We both love your name! Here are some more meanings we have found so far:
- In Tamil, 'Ayan' is the name of Brahma, the Creator. 
- 'Ayan' is also a form of African drumming .

Hello Ayan,
My wife Bhavna has been in correspondence with you regarding the name 'Ayan'. I wanted to give you the good news that we have been blessed with a baby boy and we have named him Ayan. Ayan Satya was born at 4:41 AM on February 16. He weighed 7 pounds 6 ounces and is 20 inches in height. Mother and baby are doing fine. In addition to the beautiful meanings of the name 'Ayan', it is also an acronym of last two letters of our names ('ya' and 'na') - that made the name all the more attractive to us. Thank you for all your help and please stay in touch.
Wishes,

Satya

Mail from (Cengiz Yilmaz) Irfan Ayan regarding the meaning of 'ayan':-
There is one meaning of ayan in turkish; 1 - obviously or clearly,

.....Your Name Ayan... has been correctly defined by various people... and someone from Turkey has given the meaning it has in Urdu/Persian. Ayan (with the last 'n' not pronunced fully... but half i.e. nasal tone sound..)... means something that is open and clear / something like : "something vividly clear on the face of it" or prima-facie. Bai`yyann ... i.e. open signs... There is a verse of Iqbal wherein he has used the word "Ayan".

...............My neice (eldest sister's daughter) delivered a baby boy... and they named the boy Ayan. When i heard it... i was curios to know... the dimensions of its meaning(s)... That is how i reached your web-page. The way you put your page.. .and your photograph itself conveyed to something basic (basic instinct) in me... that you were a good soul. All else becomes secondary after that..................

.....Ayan in Tamil also means Shepherd. Of course, in this case, the pronunciation is long: Aayan: as in Abbas or in Ayaz......

Hi Ayan,
My name is also Ayan. I am originally from Somalia, and now I live in the US in Arizona. In Somalia Ayan means "the lucky one". However in Somali Ayan is the female form of the name, and Ayanle is the male form. It sounds as though it would be the other way around doesn't it? At least that is how it sounds to me. It was very interesting for me to see your website and learn of all the other meanings of Ayan. The name has brought me lots of luck for all of my thirty years....... I really liked it a lot. It was fun to find out all the different meanings of "Ayan".

I don't have any suggestions to improve it, I think it's really good......

Hi Ayan,

I was (as many other visitors on your site) looking for the meaning of the name Ayan. Most people that have named their child Ayan or are planning to do so, do this for the many beautiful meanings the name has!..........In my country the name Arjan is very common, so my parents wanted to be creative and named me Ayan, without knowing any meaning of the name. Now, knowing all these meanings, I feel blessed to have been given this name!

Hi Ayan,

Myself, Alok and my wife Sheetal are based in Noida, India and had decided that if we would be blessed with a baby boy, we would name him Ayan. Apart from all other beautiful meanings this name has, in Sanskrit this also means "Speed" in English or "Gati" in Hindi.

I appreciate your effort in creating this website. I have attached a picture of our son Ayan Srivastava.

Thank You for your email and your posting of the picture of Ayan Srivastava. This is such a beautiful name that I was tempted to explore more meanings of this name and when I searched this name on the internet, I came across this site. This name was searched out by my mother from Sanskrit Shabdkosh at her School Library. We were amazed to see your website and the list of other meanings for this name. This is a great effort and I really appreciate this effort of yours.

Hi Ayan,

Thank you very much for your efforts in gathering all the meanings for the name Ayan.

I've been searching for the meaning for a while and today, I just discovered your web page. I didn't realize that there would be so many different meanings.

The closed that I came to finding the name Ayan was Ayanna and Ayanna in Kiswahili means "beautiful flower, wildflower." I'm not sure if that has any derivates from Ayan.
