Galatasaray
"In Turkish, 'SARAY' means castle [or 'palace'], and 'GALATA' comes from Galates who were Gallic hirelings in the pay of the Byzantines" (see link below)
Good luck!

It is the name of a district/town in the City of Istanbul
The previous translation is correct for direct translation of the name, however I would like to point out that GALATASARAY is also a name of the district/town in the greater City of Istanbul where team was born in early 1900. The team was named after the towns/district where they play their soccer/football games.
