What does Demirtay mean?
A foal as sturdy as iron
In Turkish: demir gibi sağlam tay
Demirtay combines the firmness of iron with the image of a young horse. Tay is an animal-related element found in Turkish naming vocabulary and creates a lexical connection with other names, including Taylan. The compound itself does not identify any particular historical horse or hero from an epic.
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 →
