What does Alâattin mean?
Exaltation or glory of the faith
In Turkish: dinin yüceliği, dinin şerefi
Alâattin is a historical compound joining exaltation with faith. The Anatolian Seljuk ruler Alaeddin Keykubad I provides a prominent association. Alaeddin and Alaaddin are alternative forms of the same Arabic construction; translating it merely as 'the good of religion' misses the first element's sense.
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 →
