What is the meaning of the name Sevilin ?

The baby name Sevilin is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced seh-VEE-lin (IPA: /seˈvilin/).

Sevilin is Turkish in Origin.

Sevilin is a rare modern given name of Turkic origin, most plausibly an elaboration of Turkish and Azerbaijani Sevil, “be loved,” from the verb sevmek “to love.” The added -in works as an affectionate or name‑forming ending in regional usage, yielding the sense “beloved” or “may you be loved.” In multilingual Balkan settings, the -in ending also aligns with established masculine forms, which helps explain occasional male uses alongside more common female use.

Attested mainly from the late 20th century onward, Sevilin appears in Azerbaijan, Turkey, and communities influenced by Ottoman‑Turkic culture, with scattered bearers in Bulgaria and North Macedonia. Variants and related forms include Sevil (fem.), Sevilen (“beloved”), Sevin (unisex, “rejoice”), Sevim (fem., “loveliness”), and the compound Sevilay (“be loved + moonlight”); common nicknames are Sevi and Sev. Not to be confused with the unrelated Latin name Severin/Severina.
