What does Aleyna mean?
Upon us; on us
In Turkish: üzerimize; bizim üzerimize
Aleyna comes from an Arabic grammatical expression rather than an adjective. In Quranic passages and prayers, its meaning depends on the surrounding sentence and can concern what comes upon us or falls to our responsibility. Turkish usage has made it an independent feminine name.
The ending “-na” is a common final sound in names such as Lina, Mina and Alina, not a suffix with one shared meaning. Each name has to be considered individually. More girl names ending in -na →
