Sett as a Baby Name. Meaning and Origin of Sett

What is the meaning of the name Sett ?

The baby name Sett is a Male name , 1 syllables long and is pronounced set (IPA: /sɛt/).

Sett is Hebrew in Origin.

Sett is a rare, modern given name with layered roots. Most commonly it is a crisp respelling of Seth, from Hebrew Shet, meaning appointed or placed - a biblical choice popularized in English by the Puritans. The spelling may also nod to Set (also written Sutekh or Setekh), the ancient Egyptian god of deserts and storms; related forms include Seti, meaning of Set. In English, sett also means a badger’s den.

As a personal name, Sett has little recorded historical use and remains uncommon, though pop culture (for example, a League of Legends character) has lifted its visibility. Variants and cognates include Seth, Set, Seti, and Sutekh; Indian surnominal cousins Seth and Sheth (also spelled Sett) derive from Sanskrit shreshthin, meaning guild chief, and sometimes inspire given-name use. Today it reads as gender-neutral, prized for its spare, one-syllable punch.
