Aiyana is a modern American name of uncertain origin; it is usually explained as meaning "eternal blossom" and attributed to a Native American language, though that reading has never been documented, and it is more likely a variant of Ayanna, whose Swahili and Amharic roots mean "beautiful flower". Either way parents hear it as a soft floral name. Aiyana ranked number 801 in 2000, peaked at 539 in 2010, slipped out of the top 1000 in 2019 and ranks 1225 in 2025.
