oryany was the brand of the ex husband and daughter of cherie christmas of maxx new york handbags. when they divorced i believe that part of that settlement was that the maxx new york brand had to be dissolved. after the divorce was all setttled, yacoub created the ORYANY brand. i dont think it sold very well (although i did like the brand and purchased a few) and is now defunct.
OR means leather/light in hebrew, YA stood for yacob (yacob assayeg), NY stood for new york.
