Popular in Azerbaijan, Milay is a name of uncertain origin. In Malagasy, it is the word for "need", while in Urdu, it translates to "found". Other sources suggest it is similar to the name Nilay - meaning "moon of the Nile". In that case, it would be comprised of the Turkish element ay, meaning "moon" and "Mil" which could refer to the Turkish province of Milas (or similar). A more literal translation could even be from Mil meaning "shaft", "axle" or "tree" combined with "moon". 
 
With this Anglicized spelling there is the possibility it is a variation of Millay, an occupational surname deriving from French that means "grower or seller of millet" or perhaps from the Russian term of affection, Milaya meaning "sweetheart" or "darling".
