Akinah, Aons, and Other Similar Cities

I've read before that some of the cities on Roshar might seem to have Aons in their layout, such as Thaylen City (though this is unsure and could just be cymatics). Upon my re-read of Dawnshard, Lopen is surveying the city of Akinah from above and notices that it looks like "a flower with radiating petals" and "groups of [the houses] formed the 'tips' of the flower petals.". I checked coppermind for Aons and immediately one fit the description: Aon Aan, which stands for Truth or Fact, a curious choice for a place so shrouded in secrets.

Though it could just be coincidence, I thought this was a cool connection if it is the case. What do you think? Also, do you know of any other cities that might have aon connections?

We actually have a basic Akinah map, courtesy of Kabsal:

There's some basic similarities but overall I don't think I'd say it indicates anything more than coincidence, personally. But that's not the first place Aons have been theorized on Roshar, so who knows, might be something weird going on.
