[Facts] Could be that...
in reply to a message by Lumia
...the misunderstanding arises from the Greek *ainos* (n) or *aino* (v) meaning "praise".Classical Greek femaile names related to *ainos* include Aina, Ainesikrate, Ainesis, Ainesiphile, Ainesio, Aineta, Ainis, Ainete, Ainesa, Aino, Aineppa, but, alas, no Ainara :)

Thank you very muchThe fantasy in etymology and meanings in some Spanish books and websites deserves a thesis (I'm seriously thinking in). :)

For an even more familiar......Greek name related to *ainos*, check out Aeneas.
