What is the meaning of the name Sevil ?

The baby name Sevil is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced seh-VEEL (IPA: /seˈvil/).

Sevil is Turkish in Origin.

Sevil is a Turkish and Azerbaijani feminine given name meaning “be loved,” from the Turkic root sev- “to love” (Turkish sevmek), with the passive/imperative suffix -il giving the sense of an affectionate exhortation, “may you be loved.” Used across Turkey, Azerbaijan, and other Turkic communities, it has also appeared in Russian/Cyrillic as Севиль. Though traceable to older Turkic vocabulary, the name gained broad visibility in the 20th century - especially through Jafar Jabbarli’s influential 1928 play Sevil and Fikret Amirov’s 1953 opera based on it - after which its use rose in the Caucasus and Anatolia.

Variants and related forms include Sevi (pet form), Sev, Sevo; compound derivatives such as Sevilay; and cognate names built on the same root: Sevda, Sevgi, Sevim, Sevin, Sevinç, Seval, and Seven. Sevil is predominantly feminine and modern-leaning, and should not be confused with the Spanish place-name Seville (Sevilla).
