Mirror; a surface reflecting images
In Turkish: görüntüyü yansıtan yüzey, gözgü
Ayna is the ordinary Turkish word for a mirror. In literature, the mirror can accompany images of reflection, self-recognition, and the heart. These associations enrich its interpretation as a name, while its basic sense remains concrete; similarly spelled names in other languages should not automatically be treated as identical.
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 →
