What is the meaning of the name Ayellet ?

The baby name Ayellet is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced ah-YEH-let (Hebrew; IPA: /a.jeˈlet/).

Ayellet is Hebrew in Origin.

Ayellet is a modern English transliteration variant of the Hebrew feminine name Ayelet (איילת), from ayal “deer/stag.” In Hebrew, ayelet is the construct form meaning “doe/gazelle of…,” best known from the Psalm 22 superscription Ayelet ha‑Shachar, “Hind of the Dawn” or “Morning Star,” evoking grace, swiftness, and first light. Pronounced ah-yeh-LET (also EYE-eh-let in English), the name conveys elegance and alert vitality.

As a given name it gained currency in 20th‑century Israel alongside other nature-derived revivals, and is now familiar in Jewish communities worldwide, borne by artists, scholars, and public figures. Common spellings include Ayelet (standard) and Ayellet (double-l); less frequent are Ayalet and Ayelett. Related names are Ayala/Ayalah (also “doe”) and Tzvia/Tzivia (“gazelle”). Nicknames may include Ayi or Leti. The double‑l spelling Ayellet retains the same etymology and meaning while offering a distinctive look.
