What is the meaning of the name Şebnem ?

The baby name Şebnem is a girl name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced sheb-NEM.

Şebnem is Persian, Turkish in Origin.

Şebnem is the Turkish form of Persian shabnam, written شبنم in Perso-Arabic script. The earliest secure form is the Persian compound shab, night, plus nam or nem, dampness or moisture, giving the literal sense night moisture; in ordinary use it denotes dew. Turkish borrowed the word with initial ş for /ʃ/ and front vowels, producing Şebnem as both vocabulary and a given name.

As a feminine name, Şebnem belongs especially to Turkey and Azerbaijani usage, while Persian, Urdu, Hindi, and Pashto contexts more often show Shabnam. The spelling Shebnem appears where Turkish characters are unavailable; Azerbaijani uses Şəbnəm. In Turkey it is familiar from late twentieth-century public figures such as singer Şebnem Ferah and actresses Şebnem Dönmez and Şebnem Bozoklu, rather than from a religious calendar.
