Seraphin is Hebrew in Origin.
Rooted in Hebrew seraphim (“burning ones”), Seraphin comes via Late Latin Seraphinus and Old French Séraphin, denoting the highest order of angels in Isaiah. The core meaning evokes fiery ardor, purity, and celestial guardianship; as a masculine given name, it individualizes the plural term used in scripture.
Used across Catholic Europe from the Middle Ages onward, Séraphin/Serafin appears in French parish registers, Polish and German records, and as Russian Serafim (Серафим). Devotion to Saint Seraphin of Montegranaro (16th century) further popularized it, and the name enjoyed 18th–19th-century visibility; today it sees a quiet revival alongside Seraphina. International variants include: Séraphin (French), Serafin or Seraphin (German, Polish), Serafín (Spanish), Serafim (Portuguese, Russian), Serafino (Italian), and the learned English form Seraphim; feminine counterparts are Seraphina, Serafina, and Séraphine.
