What does Bulutay mean?
Name evoking clouds and the moon
In Turkish: bulut ve ay çağrışımlı ad
Bulutay brings together two features of the sky. Clouds and the moon can suggest several night-sky images, including concealment, emergence and illumination. The structure connects it directly with Bulut and Ay, but it does not justify defining the name exclusively as a moon behind clouds or another single scene.
Tay is Turkish for “foal,” but this does not explain every name ending in tay. Altay, Çağatay and Kutay each need to be considered through their own origins. More boy names ending in -tay →
