Eye, or a small bird
In Sanskrit, the name is derived from 'Nayana', meaning 'eye'. In some African contexts, specifically within the Dinka language of South Sudan, it can refer to a small bird or be used as a diminutive prefix. It is also recognized in various cultures as a modern, short, and rhythmic choice.
