Ailanys Origin and Meaning

The name Ailanys is a girl's name meaning "handsome, cheerful; high chief; shining light, of the moon".

Ailany and Ailani were big hits in 2024, and this similar, slightly whimsical option also made its first appearance in the US stats the same year.

As a variation of Ailany, is can be considered a Spanish form of Hawaiian Ailani ("high chief"), Turkish Aylin ("of the moon"), and Scottish Aileen ("shining light, torch"), however, it could also have drawn inspiration from the musical Alanis, a variant of Alan meaning "handsome, cheerful".

Alternative spellings Aylanis and Ailanis also appeared in the stats for the first time in 2024.
