Well, there are different meanings of this unique word:
'Ayan' is the word used in the bible (old testament) for the arrival of Noah. It also means Shepherd.
In Aramaic, the language of Jesus, it means water spring (used as a suffix of the spring's name, e.g Ma'ayan, Al-Re'ayan etc)
In Egyptian Mythology, 'Ayan' is the place where the two kingdoms, ruled by Horus and Seti, made peace.
In India, the path through which the sun travels in the daytime (equinox) is called 'Ayan'.
In Tamil: 'Ayan' is the name of Brahma, the Creator.
'Ayan' in Turkish, means "obviously" or "clearly".
In the Jewish religion, 'Ayan' is the level of 'nothingless'.
'Ayan' in Urdu/Persian means something that is open and clear.
In Somalia 'Ayan' is used for "the lucky one".
In Islam/Arabic: Ayan is God's Gift.
In Sanskrit it is the word for "Speed".
'Ayan' is the human soul (Sirr & Rooh, forming Rooh-e-Insani).
In Nigeria and Benin, the spirit in the drum is called 'Ayan'.
'Ayan' is also the name of a type of tree (African Satinwood).

It is ayAAn and it use to mean good spirits/angels in old Somali religions hence why Ayaan means good luck/fortune. The similarities are entirley coincidental.

I'm pretty sure 12 snetters out of 20 are either named Ayan or associate with one. Its very common name these days, Too common I may add, kinda like the Abdi version for us guys.
