Ayat is a direct Quranic name for girls that means “signs”, “clues”, “proofs”, “verses of scripture”. It is chiefly a girl name, but some people also use it for boys. In Islamic contexts it refers to verses of the Quran, and miracles and signs that God presents to humans to make them know with full certainty of His presence and greatness. Ayat is the plural of Ayah. It is used about 295 times in the Quran.

These are the verses of Allah which We recite to you in truth. Then in what statement after Allah and His verses will they believe? (Quran 45:6)

He has subjected whatever is in heaven and on the earth to you; it is all from Him. In that are signs for those who ponder. (Quran 45:13)
