What is the meaning of the name Sepideh-ye ?

The baby name Sepideh-ye is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced seh-PEE-deh (IPA: /seˈpiːde/).

Sepideh-ye is Persian in Origin.

Persian in origin, Sepideh-ye combines Sepideh (سپیده) ‘dawn, first light, whitening of the sky’ - from sepid/sefid ‘white’ - with the enclitic ezafe -ye, a linker meaning ‘of’ or indicating a descriptive relationship. Read literally, it suggests ‘of the dawn’ or ‘dawn’s,’ a poetic preface often used in compound expressions (e.g., Sepideh‑ye …). As a standalone given name, the core element Sepideh conveys luminosity, new beginnings, and hope.

In practice, Iranian naming favors Sepideh as the independent feminine name; the hyphenated Sepideh‑ye appears in literary registers, in double names, or in diaspora paperwork preserving the ezafe. Documented since the 20th century, Sepideh gained popularity with modern Persian cultural revival. Variants and spellings include Sepideh, Sepide, Sepida (Tajik), Sepidah; affectionate short forms Sepi and Sepide. Related meaning-names: Sahar and Sobh (both ‘dawn’). For clarity in non-Persian contexts, many families drop the ezafe and register the child as Sepideh.
