Layana Meaning and Origin
Layana is a girl’s name meaning “radiant” and is of Persian, Arabic, and Sanskrit origin. In Hebrew, Layana is derived from the word “layla,” which means “night.” Layana can be interpreted as “nighttime” or “belonging to the night.” In Sanskrit, Layana is associated with the concept of “grace” or “gentleness.” It can also be connected to the term “lila,” meaning “play” or “divine drama.” In some African cultures, Layana is believed to mean “a clear path” or “a path that is bright and well-lit.” Layana is both a playful and super dreamy baby name.
