The refs have 大様 and 鷹揚 but not this combination of the characters. Not worth keeping.

  Comments:
Not saying this string of kanji doesn't exist anywhere in Japanese, but I can't find a ref for it besides 難読・異読地名辞典.

大揚 certainly appears in place names. kotobank gives, for example, 大楊村(おおようむら).

Originally came here because of "catholicity". If this is truly [adj-na], then shouldn't the glosses read:
largehearted; liberal; catholic; generous; magnanimous

I would minimally remove "liberal" and "catholic" from the list.

And of course mark [rare], or something.

"大揚な" not in google news, not on twitter, perhaps 10 book results (which include "大揚な母", so maybe?).  But hard to pin down a meaning from so little.

Comments on the inclusion of "catholicity" or "catholic" here are (will be shortly) at 普遍性.

Will recommend deletion in a followup post, but wanted to give edits as well if it stays.
