Sevval as a Baby Name. Meaning and Origin of Sevval

What is the meaning of the name Sevval ?

The baby name Sevval is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced [ʃevˈval] (Turkish; approx. "shev-VAL").

Sevval is Turkish in Origin.

Sevval is the Latinized Turkish form of Şevval, ultimately from Arabic Shawwal, the tenth month of the Islamic lunar calendar. The Arabic root sh-w-l means “to lift, to rise,” yielding name meanings such as “uplifted,” “elevated,” or “raised.” In Turkish and broader Muslim naming traditions it is most often feminine and is sometimes given to children born in or near this month, which follows Ramadan and includes Eid al-Fitr, signaling renewal and celebration.

Adopted into Ottoman Turkish from Arabic, the name appears in historical records and has enjoyed renewed visibility in modern Turkey, aided by public figures like the actor-singer Şevval Sam. Variants include Şevval (standard Turkish), Sevval (diacritic-free), Shevval (rare), and the related Arabic form Shawwal; Malay/Indonesian Syawal is a cognate month name. Usage is strongest in Turkey, the Caucasus, and Turkish diasporas, with occasional adoption across Muslim communities.
