Ayla is a modern Turkish name meaning "circle of light around the sun or moon". Since Ayla is reserved for the feminine, it is usually synonymous with "moonlight".
Ayla is considered to have originated from the Arabic word, hala (pronounced hă-lă') meaning "circle of light". The english word halo derived from the Latin word halo meaning "radiant or golden circle" also shares similar etymologies. It is also indirectly related to the english word aura which has its etymological roots in Greek and Hebrew languages.
In ancient Hebrew, the word aur meaning "illumination", but also "radiance", "happiness" and "joy", was used in the Old Testament to describe the faces of the prophets Moses and Elijah after they had spoken with God.
The Greek word aer meaning "mist" or "air" and also aura meaning "breeze" or "breath" came to be connected to the concept of the Eastern Wind, Heaven and the Rising Sun. This rather tenuous connection created a whole new set of related words, including aurum meaning "gold" (hence the elemental symbol Au), and also the English word aureole from the diminutive of "a golden crown", meaning "radiant energy" or "halo", and also the Germanic goddess Eastre whose feast was celebrated at the Spring equinox and therefore gives us "Easter". This goddess is cognate with the Roman goddess of dawn Aurora and the equivalent Greek Goddess Eos.
