From West Circassian Аюб (Ajəwb). A traditional Circassian adaptation of the Islamic prophet's name (Arabic أَيُّوب (ʔayyūb)). Due to linguistic standardization in the Turkish Republic, traditional Circassian forms of prophet names like this were largely destroyed and systematically replaced by their Turkish equivalents (in this case, Eyyüp or Eyyüb).
