Bahattin name meaning
“beauty and splendor of the faith”
Bahattin means beauty and splendor of the faith. Used as a masculine name in Türkiye, it comes from Arabic Bahāʾ al-Dīn, combining bahāʾ, meaning beauty or splendor, with al-dīn, meaning the faith. Bahaeddin is another Turkish form, while the related name Baha preserves its opening element.
What does Bahattin mean?
Beauty and splendor of the faith
In Turkish: dinin güzelliği ve görkemi
Bahattin is an al-Dīn compound built around beauty and splendor. Bahaeddin Veled, the father of Rumi, provides a historical association. The shorter name Baha shares its first element. In this compound, that element is Arabic and should be distinguished from a similar-sounding Persian word for price or value.
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 →
