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.
