Name meaning and origin
Saray derives from a word in Azerbaijani denoting the majestic, luxurious building where rulers and heads of state reside; although its root goes back to the word “sarāda” (house) in the ancient Persian language, over the centuries it became an independent, fully adopted word in the Turkic languages. As a name, it imparts this sense of splendor and grandeur to a girl.
In Turkey too Saray is given today as a girl name and expresses the wish for a magnificent, handsome appearance. There is nothing religiously objectionable about the use of Saray, which is known in Azerbaijan both as an independent name and as part of some compound names.
