Miray is Turkish in Origin.
Miray is a modern Turkish given name, used mostly for girls, built from mir (a Persian-Arabic title mir/emir, “prince; commander”) and ay (“moon”). As a compound it is interpreted as “noble moon” or “princely moon,” and in everyday glosses as “radiant like the moon.” The -ay element is prolific in Turkish naming (Aylin, Ayla), evoking beauty, clarity, and lunar light, which shapes the name’s gentle yet dignified tone.
The name entered wider use in Turkey in the late 20th century and has grown steadily in the 2000s, also appearing among Turkish diaspora communities in Europe. Spelling is stable as Miray; less common renderings like Mirey occur. Related or short forms sometimes used internationally include Mira (separate in origin) and the masculine compound Emiray; names sharing the mir- root include Emir and Miran. Note that Japanese Mirai (“future”) is etymologically unrelated though visually similar.
