The baby name Bahiyyudin is a Male name , 4 syllables long and is pronounced bah-HEE-yoo-DEEN (IPA: /baˈhi.juː.diːn/).

Bahiyyudin is Arabic, Islamic in Origin.

Bahiyyudin is an Arabic masculine compound name from bahiyy (بهِيّ, “radiant, splendid”) and al-dīn (الدين, “the faith, religion”), conveying “radiance of the faith” or “splendor of religion.” It fits the classical honorific pattern X al-Dīn, widely used from the high medieval Islamic period. In speech the l of al assimilates to the following d, producing ud-Dīn; this yields Latin-script variants ending in -uddin or -eddin.

The name appears across Arabic-speaking regions, the Persianate world, Ottoman/Turkish spheres, and later South Asia, often borne by jurists, scholars, Sufis, and administrators as a mark of piety and learning. Spelling variants include Bahiyyuddin, Bahiyuddin, Bahiyudeen, Bahiyeddin (Turkish-influenced), and Bahiy Eddine (French-influenced North Africa). Related but distinct is Bahauddin (from bahā’, “glory”). Nicknames may include Bahiyy or Uddin. Today Bahiyyudin is uncommon globally yet remains familiar in Urdu- and Malay-speaking communities and among the diaspora.
