Name meaning and origin

Origin

Burmese/Myanmar (Myanmar)

Meaning

a Burmese masculine name element meaning sun or the daytime, used as a given name or as a component in compound names; nay in Burmese refers to the sun and by extension to all the qualities associated with the sun — brightness, warmth, energy, authority, and the clarity of daylight; solar names are extremely common in Burmese masculine naming, as they are in many Asian cultures where the sun is associated with kingship, masculine power, and divine favour; in the Burmese day-of-the-week naming system — where the letter of one's name is determined by the day of birth — nay appears as a name element across multiple days; compound names incorporating nay are very common: Nay Lin (sun and clear), Nay Myo (sun and clan), Nay Win (sun and victory); as a standalone name Nay is simple, auspicious, and clearly Burmese
