Good meaning, nothing against it in the sources
Ayyur is the everyday Amazigh word for the moon and the lunar month. Herodotus says the ancient Libyans sacrificed to the sun and the moon, but the Encyclopedie berbere does not give Ayyur as the name of a god; web pages that do are weakly sourced. A scholar should confirm the ruling.
Confidence: high
