Güray name meaning
“a vigorous, abundant moon”

What does Güray mean?
A vigorous, abundant moon
In Turkish: gür, güçlü ay
Güray joins the fullness and vigor suggested by gür with the image of the moon. Turkish uses gür for things such as hair, voices, vegetation and flowing water. The name is not an astronomical term; its structure instead resembles other compounds such as Gürcan and Ayberk.
Ay means “moon” in Turkish and appears in names such as Berkay and Eray. Other names ending in these letters, such as Altay, have a different formation. More boy names ending in -ay →
