Eye or beautiful eyes
Derived from the Sanskrit word for 'eye', Nayana carries the poetic connotation of one who is observant or possesses beautiful, expressive eyes. In Hindu philosophy, the eye is often seen as the window to the soul and a symbol of wisdom. It is a classic name in India that remains rare and distinctive in the United States.
