Dray
Meaning of Dray
Dray is a succinct masculine name of Old English origin, derived from the word dræg, referring to a sturdy cart or sledge used for hauling goods. In its single-syllable crispness, Dray conveys a sense of unhurried reliability, akin to the measured pace of a camel caravan crossing a sunbaked desert expanse. Despite its Anglo-Saxon roots, the name resonates with Persian aesthetic through its pared-down elegance and emphasis on linear phonetics, recalling the simplicity of calligraphic strokes. In the United States, Dray remains uncommon yet steadily present—annual birth counts have hovered between five and eight in recent years, securing a rank near 918—an analytical narrative of subtle ascent rather than explosive popularity, appealing to parents who favor names that blend tradition with a discreet, cross-cultural resonance. Pronounced DRAY (/dreɪ/), it offers both clarity and character.
