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 perhaps to Milan (or similar). A more literal translation could even be from Mil meaning "shaft", "axle" or "tree" combined with "moon".
