Of course they have origins, but that is pretty much true of any name. If I look up "Aylo" I find:

A user from Morocco says the name Aylo is of Portuguese origin and means "someone who's easily attached to someone".
A submission from New York, U.S. says the name Aylo means "One who sees seeds" and is of African origin.
A user from Canada says the name Aylo means "Loving"

Lmao at 'One who sees seeds' Anybody on pornhub is sure to see lots and lots of 'man seed'

I can tell you the first one is total BS — there is no word in Portuguese that even sounds close to that one. Source: am a Portugal.

Adding to that as a native Brazilian Portuguese speaker, no word I'm aware of comes even close to that one either. Our words don't really use Y like that to begin with.
