ArchivesRe: Miray
in reply to a message by Perrine
According to WordReference, mir means "myrrh" in Turkish.¹
Another source claims it to be a contracted form of mısır, which means "corn".²
Wiktionary in Turkish says it means "chief, commander, emir, leader"³, plus, a Wikipedia article⁴ and a baby name website⁵ coincide in meaning.
Nordic Names also gathers information about the meaning and says it's a combination of "lady" and "moon"⁶, according to German name researcher and author Wilfried Seibicke.
