History & Origin

Sevin has two plausible routes. In Turkish it is a real given name — an imperative from sevmek, 'to love,' meaning 'rejoice; be glad.' In American use it more often reads as a respelling of the number Seven, part of a small trend of numeral names. Because both routes are live, we note the uncertainty (said 'SEV-in').

It appears only very rarely for girls in the U.S. Rare, short, and modern.

Did you know? In Turkish, Sevin is a command: 'rejoice, be glad,' from sevmek, 'to love.' In American use it reads more often as a spin on the number Seven.
