Talk:Ayla (name)

Translation of the name
Where are people getting the theory that "Ayla" and "Aura" are related names? Certainly "Aura" would be a correct translation of the name into English from Turkish, given the similarities in meaning, but I don't see anything to assume they're etymologically related. Source please? --Puddingpie (talk) 22:36, 25 August 2011 (UTC)

I agree that "Aura" would be the closer word in English to Ayla, but seeing the discription "circle of cristalic light around the sun or moon", I start thinking:

"Why would not the word "halo" be a good translation in light of this?" (pun intended) Feel free to comment. :-) TrondBK 21:35, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

The same phonetic name can be used differently in multiple places. It certainly seems like a Turkish name, given that it's the name of various Turkish people. Can you find a source for the Cherokee etymology? --Puddingpie (talk) 22:36, 25 August 2011 (UTC)
