Help[Facts] Re: Ayliz
in reply to a message by guasguendi
The meaning "glow of the moon" and Persian origin are a straight contradiction: The Persian word for moon is "mah", and there are some more poetic words for moon in Persian, but none of them is contained in Ayliz.

I think it comes from Turkish "ay" (moon) but then combined with something but I can't figure out with what.

Looking up a Turkish dictionary I was surprised about the lack of Turkish words starting in l-: There are only few of them and they seem all being borrowed from various languages (Arabic, Greek, French, International terminology, and even Polish (Lehistan)). I did not find anything looking like liz. This leaves two possibilities: The splitting of Ayliz into Ay and Liz is just the wrong idea, or Liz is the Western name Liz like in Liz Taylor: Ayliz is as beautiful as the moon and Liz Taylor.
