Probably from a Turkic language. According to Gy. Neméth, from Proto-Turkic *bāy (“rich, noble”) + Hungarian diminutive suffix -k. The diminutive suffix -k is also Turkic.[1] Compare Turkish bay, Azerbaijani bay, Bashkir бай (bay), Kazakh бай (bai), Kyrgyz бай (bay), Tatar бай (bay), Turkmen baý.[2] In Karakhanid, Bay was translated in Arabic as "distinguised" and as "a man of distinction" in Ottoman Turkish. Alternatively, according to László Rásonyi, the original form was Bayïq meaning "true, reliable" (as reported by Al Kashgari).
