Adalettin name meaning
“justice of the faith”
Adalettin means “justice of the faith” and is a masculine name in Türkiye. It combines the Arabic elements adāla, meaning justice or fairness, and dīn, meaning faith or religion, in a Turkish form. Its structure connects it with other compound names containing dīn, including Nurettin and Fahrettin.
What does Adalettin mean?
Justice of the faith
In Turkish: dinin adaleti
Adalettin belongs to the group of compound names that relate a valued quality to faith. Its final element follows the same broad naming pattern seen in Nurettin and Şemsettin. The complete name is not an independent personal name in the Quran; its religious association comes from the meaning of its component words.
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 →
