Saray or Seray is a word of Persian origin ( sarai) which means "palace". It may refer to:
In English, a saray (; Turkish: sarayı) (also seray), with the variant saraya (also seraya), is a castle, palace or government building which was considered to have particular administrative importance in various parts of the former Ottoman Empire, such as Arab parts but also including Cyprus. In an epic poem titled " Slaughter us all and make our blood a river. Cyprus poetry and history" the events are taking place at the Sarayi in Nicosia, Cyprus in July 1821. Seray may also be spelt serail in English, via French influence, in which case the L is (in principle) silent. The term saray is Turkish, and comes from the Persian word (sarāy) meaning "palace".
The English word "saray" corresponds to the Arabic term, with its particular historic meaning. The English word "saray" does not correspond to "saray" in Persian; in such cases the corresponding English term is simply "palace". The same logic would generally be applied to Punjabi, for example Akbari Sarai in Lahore, Punjab, would be more obviously described as a palace than as a saray.
A seraya should not be confused with a seraglio, though the origin of the words is probably the same.
