The Meaning Behind the Name

Have you ever wonder what's the meaning of your name?
Well, I do believe that we are the reflection of our own name. That's why some people get mad especially when their names are misspelled. Because it’s not them.

I made a research on the meanings of my name. I guess, I am living up on my own name. Hahahah!!! (Ayan means “Bright”). Well… what can I say? Ű
