Gate of Paradise; quenched
In Islamic tradition, Ar-Rayyan is the name of one of the gates of Jannah (Paradise) through which only those who observed fasting will enter. The name carries the linguistic sense of being well-watered or having one's thirst quenched. It is a popular choice in Turkey and among Muslim communities globally for its spiritual significance.
