What is the meaning of the name Sinem ?

The baby name Sinem is a girl name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced see-NEM.

Sinem is Persian, Turkish in Origin.

Sinem is a Turkish feminine name built on Ottoman Turkish sine, from Persian sīna/sīne, chest, breast, bosom. The attested Persian noun is the earliest recoverable form; in Turkish it took the first-person possessive suffix -m, so sinem literally reads my bosom, with the conventional figurative sense my heart or my darling.

Its use belongs chiefly to modern Turkish naming, especially among women born in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, and it is also familiar in Turkish communities in Germany, the Netherlands, and the United States. Public bearers such as actress Sinem Kobal and singer Sinem Balık have kept it visible in contemporary Turkey. It has no established English cognate; spellings usually remain Sinem, preserving Turkish final stress. In U.S. birth data it appears only in small numbers from the 2000s.
