[Opinions] 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. http://www.olypen.com/amelia/aiyana/
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AiyanaIt'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:http://www.native-languages.org/wrongnames.htmOnce again, I don't know how accurate this site is. But it's worth a look.
