The name Altynay is a girl's name meaning "golden moon".

A vivid and vibrant choice, Altynay combines the popular Turkic element <em>ay</em> with <em>alitn</em> to create a golden name with space and nature connections. Also (and more popularly) written as Altynai, this form is borne by singer Altynay Sapargalieva, and is also the name of a place in Russia.
