Meaning & History

Derived from Sanskrit laya "rest; dissolution; extinction; rhythm".

The masculine form Lay is the 243rd name of Lord Shiva, interpreted as "The Abode Of Dissolution" and understood to mean that, being the abode of dissolution, Shiva sees the apparent world by his all-pervading sight.

A known bearer of the feminine name is Laya Gorty (born 1981), a Telugu film actress and a Kuchipudi dancer.
