Help[Facts] Re: Ayanna
in reply to a message by mermaidwriter1000
Actually, in other books and on other sites, I have read that this name is Cherokee or another plains Indian's name. It's meaning is "a field of flowers." It is pronounced ie-YAH-na and can also be spelled Aiyana.

Unfortunately, this is not true.
It definitely is not Cherokee, and there is little evidence that it comes from any other Native American language.
