Assalam Alaikum Mufti Sahab, Can you please tell me meaning of names like Ayan & Ayman

Answer

1. Ayman means 'right side'. The name of the woman who breastfed Nabi (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) was Umm Ayman.
2. As for 'Ayan', we are not exactly certain of the way you may be pronouncing this word. Ain' the plural of which is 'Ayun' refers to the eyes or it could mean a spring / fountain. I'yaan means eyewitnessing. In any case, this is not a suitable word to be kept as somebody's name.
