Re: Help on these A meanings
~~Aiyana/Ayana/Ayanna -- from somewhere I have Swahili "Beautiful flower" but that was before I documented, so I don't know if it was reliable or notReminds me of the archaic Turkish word ayan = governor~~Alena -- I thought this was odd that it wasn't in the database. Rough guess says it's the same as Alina, but is that true?There is a Slavic name Alena - it's derived from the poetic word for the color red.~~Anahi -- some sort of goddess name?Are you sure it's not Anahid?~~Anissa -- did I just miss this? Surely it was there. At first glance I'd say it's a form of the Anns, but I know it's an actualy word in ArabicI have a Saudi friend named Anis. My guess is Anissa is a variant of Anisa
