What does Olgunay mean?
A name combining maturity and the moon
In Turkish: olgunluk ve ay imgesini birleştiren ad
Olgunay places the sense of development and completion in Olgun beside the image of the moon. In Turkish, olgun can describe both physical things, such as fruit, and thought or conduct. Ay occurs in many compound names; its presence here does not necessarily establish the meaning “full moon.”
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 →
