Name meaning and origin
Miray comes from the combination of the Persian-origin word mir (leader, guide; shortened from the Arabic word amir) and the Turkic-origin word ay. The Turkic Language Association explains the name as a leader shining like the moon; in some sources it is also used to mean the first days of the moon.
The name is among the compound women's names created in Turkey in the 20th century and has in recent years become one of the Turkic-origin names that have grown popular in Azerbaijan alongside names like Melisa and Elif. It has no religious content and is chosen for its associations with the moon and light.
