Etymology
[edit]Eray is a combination of two Turkish words er and ay. Er is derived from the Proto-Turkic *ēr, meaning "man", but also "soldier" and "brave", while Ay comes from the Proto-Turkic *āy, meaning "moon" or "month". Together, Eray means "man of the moon", "soldier of the moon", "brave man of the moon", "moon man" and "moon soldier".[1][2][3][4]
