Meaning not yet researched.
We publish a meaning only with a cited source and a confidence label, and never generate one. Meanings are being researched for the most common names first.
Wikidata records this spelling as a given name in Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish and French. That is where the name is used, not necessarily where it comes from.
Rare spellings summarised here: Ayane (296), Hanne (183), Ayanne (5).
Numbers are all-time US births. Links come from Wikidata’s “said to be the same as” (P460, CC0) and our spelling rule: at most two letters different, with the same sound pattern.
US girls. Rank within each state. SSA leaves out states where fewer than five girls got the name, so 20 are not listed.
