Reply to comment by sims3k in Turkey earthquake: Girl survives 10 days under quake rubble - BBC News by UsernameEmanresu22

That would be quite a coincidence! But, aparently not.

"Aleyna is a Turkish name of Arabic origin. Aleyna means “above us” or “on us” (from Arabic “‘alayna/علينا”) or “God’s favorite” and “gift of God”. Besides, Aleyna means “torch”, “beautiful”, “light”, “bright” and “shining” (from Alayna or Alena, in Greek origins)."

So literally anything you want it to mean just like any other name. No clue why anyone thinks names "mean" something.

Because they do. The redditor you responded to literally gave you the meaning for a name. The vast majority of names are based on words that have meaning. They're not made up words that just sounded good with no meaning behind them.
