What does Leyan mean?

Gentleness; ease; comfortable living

In Turkish: yumuşaklık, rahatlık, esenlik

If identified with Arabic Layan, Leyan expresses softness rather than hardness and the ease of comfortable living. Other derivatives of the same root also concern gentleness. Its resemblance to Leyla does not establish a common origin, and Leyla's association with night should not be transferred to this name.
