Lioness; or to be soft, mild, and gentle
Leyana is a name with multiple potential roots. In an Arabic context, it is often viewed as a variant of Layana, meaning 'soft' or 'gentle.' Alternatively, it is sometimes associated with the French 'Liane' or as a modern elaboration of the name Leah, which can mean 'lioness' in some linguistic traditions.
