What Ayline means
Ayline means the ring of light around the moon. The Turkish ay is the moon and the ending gives the halo, so the name describes the moon's corona rather than the moon itself — a distinction most translations lose.
Where Ayline comes from
Ayline is a French spelling of the Turkish Aylin, from ay, moon, with a suffix giving the sense of a moon halo. Ay is one of the most productive elements in Turkish naming, behind Aynur, Aysel, Aysun and Aygül, and it reaches back to pre-Islamic Turkic tradition where the moon carried more weight than it does in Arabic naming. The name entered French registers with Turkish migration and has since spread beyond that community, helped by sounding close to the unrelated French Aline, a medieval short form of Adeline. The two are frequently confused: Aline is Germanic, from adal, noble, and has nothing to do with the moon. Aylin is also read in Hebrew as a form of Ayelet, a doe, which is a third and separate line.
