[Opinions] Re: Aiyana
in reply to a message by Chrisell
sorry all I know is that it is a native american name...I don't know how reliable this website is, but this does back it up: http://www.babynamesworld.com/meaning_of_Aiyana.html

Also, one of my teachers named her little girl this, and told me the meaning which she had read in a book. (Once again I am not sure how reliable)

It's not Native American at all.
At least not from what I've found online, excepting those awful baby name websites that'll tell you anything they want you to believe.

It's more complex than just being a name. I don't know how reliable this guy's research is but it's kind of interesting. From what I gather, *he* picked out the name for the some clan whose DNA he was tracing.
Also, look at the write up for Aiyana on this page:

Once again, I don't know how accurate this site is. But it's worth a look.
