Senin as a Baby Name. Meaning and Origin of Senin

What is the meaning of the name Senin ?

The baby name Senin is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /səˈnin/ (suh-NEEN).

Senin is Indonesian, Malay in Origin.

Senin has overlapping roots across Celtic and Iberian traditions. In Irish, it aligns with Senán (pronounced “SHEN-awn”), from Old Irish sen “old” + the diminutive -án, yielding the sense “little old one” or “wise one.” This form is borne by the 6th‑century Saint Senán of Scattery Island, anchoring its medieval and modern Irish use. In Spanish-speaking regions, related forms like Senén and the diminutive Senín appear in devotion to the paired martyrs Abdón y Senén, patrons of harvests especially venerated in Valencia and Catalonia (where they’re folklorically called Sant Nin i Sant Non).

Variants and near-equivalents include Senán, Senan, Senén, Senen, Senín, and Sennen (known in Cornwall via a church and parish). Usage today is uncommon but steady in Ireland and regionally scattered in Spain. Note the homonym in Indonesian/Malay, senin meaning “Monday,” a coincidental overlap sometimes inspiring modern, word-based naming.
