Layan

Often explained as being associated with softness or gentle ease.

Layan is a feminine given name used in Arabic-speaking contexts and also in international usage via Latin spelling. In everyday explanations it’s often associated with softness, gentleness, or a sense of ease, which is why it sometimes appears in modern name lists. From an etymology standpoint, Layan is commonly treated as Arabic in contemporary use. Specific root analyses can vary across references, so it’s best understood as a name with a broadly gentle association rather than a single fixed translation. Pronunciation is usually given as lay-AHN, with the stress on the second syllable. If you encounter spelling variants, they typically aim to preserve the same two-syllable pronunciation.

Etymology: Commonly treated as Arabic in modern usage; the exact root analysis can vary by source.
