Satyn is English in Origin.

Satyn is a contemporary English given name modeled on the word satin and the French-style Satine. The underlying term entered Middle English via Old French satin, probably through medieval Arabic zaytuni, “of Zaytun,” the name Arab traders used for the Chinese port of Quanzhou famed for silk; some sources also connect it to an Arabic word satin. In all routes, the reference is the lustrous silk weave.

As a personal name, usage is modern and rare, appearing in English-speaking records from the late 20th century, with awareness boosted by the character Satine in Moulin Rouge! (2001). Satyn fits the -yn spelling fashion seen in names like Madalyn. Variants include Satin, Satine, Satyne, Satynn, and Satynne; the name is unisex but largely given to girls. Its meaning centers on “smooth, glossy fabric,” evoking sheen, luxury, and softness.
