Günay

Günay is a Turkish name of both Turkic and Persian origins, meaning 'moon-like' or 'related to the moon'. The name combines 'gün' (day, sun) with 'ay' (moon), symbolizing celestial beauty and brightness. For girls, it represents radiance and luminous beauty. The name is moderately common in Turkey and among Turkish communities worldwide. The umlaut over the 'u' gives the name its distinctive pronunciation. Günay has gained some international recognition while maintaining its strong cultural roots in Turkish heritage.
