So, the origin of word Saray is "Caravan Sara". In B.C. the one way of Ancient "Silk Way" has passed through the south side of Saray village. After having rest here, the Caravan has continued going. As a result of economical development caravan transport was substituted by other transport. So, caravan traffic ceased. Therefore, the word caravan was abbreviated, Sara became Saray adding "y" to the end of word.
