Sinn is a rare unisex name with multiple, unrelated sources. In Irish and Scottish Gaelic, sinn is the everyday pronoun “we/us,” which has inspired occasional modern use as a solidarity-themed given name. In German contexts it appears as a surname and place-name (from the River Sinn in Hesse/Bavaria) and ultimately relates to Old High German sinn “mind, sense,” from which modern German Sinn “meaning” derives; as a given name, it is a contemporary surname-as-first-name choice.

Across East Asia, Sinn can be a romanization of several surnames: Korean 신 (often Shin), or Chinese surnames rendered Sin/Sinn in Hokkien/Teochew lines, with characters and meanings that vary (for example 辛 ‘bitter; eighth heavenly stem’). Variants and related forms include Sin, Syn, Sinne, Synn, and, in Gaelic families, Sìne/Sheena or Sinéad, though those differ etymologically. Anglophone use is rare; the doubled n softens the English word association.
