Name meaning and origin
Turgay is a word of Turkic origin and denotes the small singing bird, the lark (meadow pipit), that builds its nest in steppes and meadows. From the same root, a river in Kazakhstan also bears the name Turgay, showing that the word lives across the broad Turkic region both as a bird and as a place name.
Unlike the similar-sounding name Turkay, Turgay is not a combination of Turkic and the word moon but is formed from a bird name; the two names have entirely different origins. In Azerbaijan, Turgay is a rare name, but it is found among families who love simple Turkic nature-related names.
