Aygun is in Origin.

Aygun (Aygün) is a modern Turkic given name built from ay “moon” + gün “sun/day,” meaning “moon and sun,” “moonlit day,” or, symbolically, “harmony of night and day.” Widespread in Azerbaijan and Turkey, it also appears among Tatars, Bashkirs, and Turkmens, and is used for both genders though predominantly feminine.

The name rose to popularity in the late 20th century amid a revival of nature-themed, pre-Islamic Turkic elements in personal names; in Azerbaijan it was boosted by cultural figures such as pop singer Aygün Kazımova. Variant spellings include Aygün (with umlaut), Aygun (Latinized), and Aigun/Ajgun (Russian/Polish transliteration). Related forms based on the same roots include Günay (the reversed compound), Aylin, Ayla, Aygül/Aygul (“moon-flower”), and Güneş (“sun”). Overall, Aygun conveys brightness, cosmic balance, and auspicious beginnings.
