Question
I want to give name of my baby "Aayan". Does there any meaning in arabic. Please help me by proving if there any meaning of the name.  

Answer
Hello Sabbir

Thanks for your question.

This is not a very popular name and may even raise a few eyebrows because of its association with Ms Hirsi Ali.
It does exist as an Arabic name -though is not very common- for a boy and means Gift of God.
I hope this answers your question

Regards

Arabic
