Ayla is a Turkish name meaning "circle of cristalic light around the sun or moon". Since Ayla is reserved for the feminine, it is usually synonymous with "moonlight".It also sounds like the English word aura which has its etymological roots in Greek and Hebrew languages. In ancient Hebrew, the word aur, meaning "illumination", but also "radiance," "happiness" and "joy," was used in the Old Testament to describe the faces of the prophetsMoses and Elijah after they had spoken with God.
