Meaning of the name Aleyna
Aleyna has been one of the most popular girls’ names in Turkey since the 2000s. Its origin is not established: it is often explained as “exalted, sublime” or “divine light”, with no support in dictionaries. It is also linked to Arabic ʿalayna, “upon us”, a frequent phrase in the Quran, but that is not a noun and the meaning hardly suits a name.
