Prophet Ishmaeels(pbuh) wife's name was Hajar. Here is a Hadith about Hajar.
Hajar sees Zam-zam - by Prophet MuhammadThe Prophet Muhammad said: 'This is the source of the tradition of the Sa'y (One of the rituals of the hajj, or pilgrimage) the going of people between them (i.e. As-Safa and Al-Marwa). When she reached Al- Marwa (for the last time) she heard a voice and she asked herself to be quiet and listened attentively. She heard the voice again and said: '0, (whoever you may be)! You have made me hear your voice; have you got something to help me?' And behold! She saw an angel at the place of Zam-zam, digging the earth with his heel (or his wing) till water flowed from that place. She started to make something like a basin around it, using her hand in this way, and started filling her water-skin with water with her hands, and the water was flowing out after she had scooped some of it."The Prophet added: "May Allah bestow mercy on Ishmael's mother! Had she let the Zam-zam (flow without trying to control it or had she not scooped from that water to fill her water-skin), Zam-zam would have been a stream flowing on the surface of the earth."

What did Abu Bakr do as Khalifa?
He was a companion
Answer-2
Hazrat Abu Bakr rau is the Best Man excluding the Prophets. His services as a Companion of our beloved Prophet (SAW) are un-matched. His services as the Caliph of Rasool (SAW) were also matchless. The following verse from the holy Qur'an stands witness to this fact:
Sura Taubah: Para 10. Ayat No. 40. This verse (Ayat) was revealed in the background of Ghuzwah-i-Tabuk which was a point of Test and turmoil for the Muslims. The weather was extremely hot and the crop of Dates was ready for harvesting. Seeing the reluctance of a few persons Almighty Allah Jabbar reminded the Muslims the time when He helped His Prophet (SAW) in utter adversity and helplessness.
1. Translation: If you don't help him (the prophet), (no matter), Allah Almighty is Himself his Helper. He helped him (at that time) when the Unbelievers drove him out (of Makka). (At that time) He had only one companion (Abu Bakr). (When) they two were in the Cave (Thoar), and he consoled his companion, "Don't be afraid, for Allah is with us (both)." Then Allah sent his peace upon them and helped them which forces which you couldn't see, and humbled the words of the Unbelievers. Allah's word is exalted to the Highest, for Allah is exalted in Might, (He is) Wise."
2. At this Testing occasion- Ghuzwah Tabuk, Hazrat Abu BakrSiddique (RAU) collected all his belongings and placed them at the sacred feet of the holy Prophet (SAW).
3. Hazrat Abu BakrSiddique (RAU) was Second of the Two in the Cave of Thoar. Thus he earned the Title: The Second of the Two.
4. Siddique: He earned this Title when he testified the claim of the holy Prophet (SAW) about his Journey to Masjid-i-Aqsa in Jerusalem.
5. His braver, steadfastness, devotion to Islam, his Love for the holy Prophet (SAW), his sacrifice for Islam, his life.
6. As a Caliph of Rasool (SAW) he united the Muslims under one banner, kept them intact, fought against the false claiments of Prophet-hood, defeated the Munkreen-i-Zakat, compiled the holy Qur'an and established the Muslim Empire on firm footing. History proves that at the death of the holy Prophet (SAW) only a person of his caliber could have kept the Muslim Umma under one banner. He was so devoted to the holy Prophet (SAW) that he sent out the army which the Prophet (SAW) had ordered.

Günther Schlee seems to translate ayaan as "day." (Chapter: "Loanwords in Oromo and Rendille as a mirror of past inter-ethnic relations." Book: African Languages, Development and the State. Page 201. 1994.)
Mohamed Diriye Abdullahi says, "Ayaan means good luck and destiny, someone who is in good luck and prosperous might be referred to as ayaanle. Ayaan is also a popular name for girls. In the ancient Cushitic religion, the ayaan, or ayana among the Oromo, are good spirits or angels that mediate between god and humans and whose blessings one seeks. As is known from practices among non-Muslim non-Christian Oromo, the chief priest of the Cushitic cult is the qallu." (Book: Culture and Customs of Somalia. Page 65. 2001.)
