Eldin has two credible etymologies. In English it functions as a variant of the toponymic surname/given name Eldon/Elden, taken from places named Eldon in Durham and elsewhere, derived from Old English elements, either Ella (a personal name) + dun “hill,” yielding “Ella’s hill,” or eald “old” + dun “hill,” “old hill.” In the Islamic Balkans, especially Bosnia and Herzegovina, Eldin is extracted from Arabic al-din (al-dīn) “the faith, religion,” the honorific element seen in compound names like Nur al-Din or Salah al-Din; as a standalone it conveys “of the faith.”

As a given name in English-speaking countries, Eldin/Elden/Eldon appears from the 19th century onward, likely influenced by the surname. In Bosnian use it rose in the late 20th century and remains familiar today. Variants and related forms include Elden, Eldon, Eldyn, El-Din/Al-Din (transliterations), and cognates within -din compounds.
