Setyn is in Origin.

Setyn is a modern given name with several plausible sources rather than a single fixed origin. It is commonly interpreted as a streamlined variant of the Scottish surname Seton/Seaton, a place-name meaning “sea town” (from Old English words for “sea” and “enclosure/settlement”). Others read it as a contemporary elaboration of the biblical Seth, attaching a Welsh-style diminutive -yn to the Hebrew Shet or to the root shith “to appoint/place,” yielding the sense “appointed, placed, granted.” Because of this ambiguity, Setyn can carry maritime and ancestral overtones or a quiet, devotional meaning.

Documented usage is very rare and primarily 21st-century in English-speaking countries, often chosen for its crisp sound and uniqueness; it appears as a unisex choice but skews masculine. Variants and near-variants include Seton, Seaton, Seten, Setin, Setynne, and Sethyn; related forms are Seth and Seti. Short forms such as Set or Ty occur in casual use.
