“beautiful and radiant like the moon”

What does Aysan mean?
Beautiful and radiant like the moon
In Turkish: ay gibi güzel ve parlak
Aysan belongs to the group of names that associate the moon with beauty and radiance. Its celestial imagery is relatively clear, as in many names beginning with Ay; the uncertain second element makes more specific translations involving fame or a moonlike face less secure.
The ending “-an” is a common final sound rather than a suffix with one shared meaning here. Aslan, Hasan and Yaman have different origins and structures despite their matching endings. More boy names ending in -an →
