"Ayelet" does not exist in the formal English language. The closest match to the word is "Eyalet" meaning, "Formerly, one of the administrative divisions or provinces of the Ottoman Empire; -- now called a vilayet."

"Ayelet" is also a Hebrew word referring to a (female) deer, hind, or gazelle. It is often encountered in the compound phrase "Ayelet Ha'Shachar" literally meaning "gazelle of the dawn" and referring to the morning star. Based on that, it can also be a woman's name in Hebrew. Well known Ayelets include the novelist Ayelet Waldman and the actress Ayelet Zurer.
