ArchivesRe: MEANING OF NAME "AYAN" OR "AAYAN"
in reply to a message by Gail
The sanskrit meaning is incorrect. satyanArAYaNa comes from satya = truth (or, etymologically, that which exists from the root as, to be, with obvious cognates) + nArAYaNa (descendent of nara, man, with cognates in Greek and Latin). The word nArAYaNa was identified as the first man, the creator, etc. in the past, but now refers to ViSNu, the protector amongst the Hindu trinity.
In any case, there is no word ayan or aayan in that. The phoneme does exist as a suffix there, but with the meaning `son of'.
I haven't checked the other meanings, but you would be well-advised to check them out. There are two many sites which give false meanings, sometimes with so little regard for the truth that calling them lies is not overeaching.
