Ayaz (name)


Ayaz, Iyaz, or Ayas, meaning cool breeze, is both a surname and a masculine given name. The latter use was common in the Ghaznavid and Seljuk empires. The Turkic-origin Ayaz should not be confused with the Arabic-derived name Ayyad/Ayyaz, though the latter is also sometimes transliterated as Ayaz, such as with Ayaz Marhoni or Ayaz Ishaqi.
