Bahiaddin is Arabic in Origin.

From Arabic Bahā’ al-Dīn (بهاء الدين), Bahiaddin combines bahā’ “splendor, magnificence” and al-dīn “the faith,” giving the devotional meaning “splendor of the faith.” The spelling Bahiaddin reflects a Turkish-influenced rendering of the Ottoman/Arabic name; other common transliterations include Bahāʾ al-Dīn, Baha al-Din, Bahaa-ud-Din, Bahauddin, and Bahaeddin. In modern Turkish, related forms Bahaddin and Bahattin are widespread, while South Asia favors Bahauddin.

Across the medieval Islamic world the compound appeared among scholars, jurists, mystics, and officials. Notable bearers include Bahāʾ al-Dīn ibn Shaddād (biographer of Saladin), the Sufi saint Bahauddin Zakariya of Multan, Bahāʾ al-Dīn al-ʿĀmilī (Sheikh Bahāʾī), and Bahāʾ al-Dīn Walad, Rumi’s father. Today the name and its variants are used in Arabic-speaking countries, Iran, Turkey, and the Subcontinent, often chosen to express piety or to honor Sufi lineages. Short forms such as Baha or Din may occur in casual use.
