Can we try to figure out the meaning of this Turkish name? ay means "moon", what about the "liz" part?

Ayliz has an uncertain meaning, but it is clear it's a modern coinage. It was popularised by a character in the TV series Seni Çok Bekledim (Waiting For You) which was broadcast on late January 2021.
*All* of these sources agree in meaning. It comes from an unidentified Persian name meaning either "glow of the moon" or "garden from heaven".

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.

Thanks, I would like to know what that Persian name is!
Is it really that modern?
It has been used before 2021:
https://www.baby-vornamen.de/Maedchen/A/Ay/Ayliz/
It shows some born in Switzerland in 1998 and in Germany in about 2007 (both have large Turkish speaking communities).
but I guess it's not a very old name.
