Ayan / Liyan

[Qamishlo]

Hello friends
I have a friend has got a baby and he called him " Ayan " he said it's a kurdish name and means " The dawn ".
But he said he is not sure and asked me to look for its meaning.
My cousin also has got a baby and he called her " Liyan " but I don't know the meaning
"Ayan " and "Liyan ".
Does anyone know what do these names mean ?

Regards

Hey Qamishlo! What's up?

Liyan reminds me of Chinese name Li Yan. I don't know, but Ayan makes me thinks of Ayan-ool Sam. Ayan=Journey or travel where I'm from. Also Ayan=clear or evident too...

Thanks kak Barish
I am sorry, the name is " Eyan " not " Ayan ".
It was a typo.Anyway, I guess Ayan and Eyan have the same meaning and I go for the second meaning you gave " Clear and evidence ".
In which language are they ? My friend said they are kurdish names and may be presian, too .

eyan mean evident in kurdish. ayan mean evident in turkish. dawn is berbang in kurdish. liyan mean anxious in kurdish.

Kak Qamishlo,

Beyan or BAyan is Kurdish and means 'Dawn'. 'Liyan' is a bit coplicated. It is Kurdish but it is not a name. Simply it means 'they' or 'them. For example: Liyan gery bron= let them go. liyan geranewe= they have been invited.

In Turkish Ayan= evident or clear. Sorry can't be of more help.

I'm confused Nuray and Londoner give different translations. Who is correct?

Thanks guys
So you all agree that Eyen means evident .. a good name and good meaning
as for what kak Londener said about " Liyan " I think he gave what it is meant in Sorani dialect.
I think the name may have different meanings in another Kurdish dialect. Anyway, Thanks a lot guys

eyan mean evident in kurdish. ayan mean evident in turkish. dawn is berbang in kurdish. liyan mean anxious in kurdish.

Eyan or Ayan is not Kurdish or Turkish. It is Arabic and comes from '3eyan', which means 'witness' and 'noble'. '3' sounds like Ali in Arabic.

in arabic the word eyan or ayan have different meaning. does not ayan also mean notables and eyes or view and a'ayan mean allahs gift?

eyan or Ayan have the same meaning .

The origin is the word "Eyn" which means EYE in Arabic , So the word Eyan(ayan) could be an adjective or a verb for " examin by sight " " examiner " . It all depend on how you pronouce it and where you put the emphasis .

Ayana -----> youaino------> eyan(ayan)

so Eyan(Ayan) is neither Turkish nor Kurdish no matter how you root it .
