What does Abidin mean?
Worshippers; those devoted to worship
In Turkish: ibadet edenler, kulluk edenler
Although grammatically plural in Arabic, Abidin functions as an individual name in Turkish. It also appears within Zeynelabidin, and its reference to worship and devotion connects it both with the shorter name Abid and with a longstanding tradition of religious naming.
The final sound in has no single shared meaning across these names. Emin, Şahin and Engin must be understood as whole names, not through their last letters alone. More boy names ending in -in →
