What is the meaning of the name Sevilan ?

Sevilan is Turkish in Origin.

Sevilan is a Turkic-origin given name built on the root sev- “to love.” Through the passive stem sevil “to be loved” and the participial suffix -en/-ən, it corresponds to Turkish Sevilen and Azerbaijani Sevilən, literally “the one who is loved,” i.e., “beloved.” The spelling Sevilan reflects a diacritic-free rendering or dialectal vowel coloring in Azerbaijani. It appears across Turkey, Azerbaijan, and Turkic diaspora communities, used chiefly for girls but occasionally as a unisex choice.

Modern usage rose in the 20th century alongside interest in native vocabulary names; the popularity of Sevil in Jafar Jabbarly’s 1928 play and Fikret Amirov’s later opera helped cement the root in naming. Close variants and related forms include Sevilən/Sevilen, Sevil, and the compound Sevilay (“beloved moon”). Diminutives such as Sevi and Sev are common. Core meaning: “beloved, cherished one.”
