[Opinions] Re: Amaya
in reply to a message by Lily
Okay, this is really, like really, far-fetched, but then again, it's just for fun, right?When you said that Amaya could also be a Japanese name, I looked up Saray because it reminded me of all those Turkish names ending in ay.
Turns out "saray" actually is a Turkish word, the term for "serail" or "seraglio" (as in the living quarters of the wives and concubines in an Ottoman palace). It's ultimately derived from a Persian word for "palace". And "palace" or "castle" also seems to be the modern Turkish meaning of this word.
I doubt that Saray is or was ever used as a given name (although I could be wrong), but it allows for another interpretation of Amaya Saray. How about "rainy night over the palace"? ;-)
I think I'd like that better than a "contentious end". Or maybe not. :P
As I said: probably as false as it can get but all in good fun.
