What does Ecrin mean?
Recompense, reward; payment for work
In Turkish: karşılık, ödül; yapılan işin karşılığı
Ecrin illustrates an inflected Arabic word being adopted as a Turkish personal name. Its source, ajr, denotes recompense or reward and occurs in the Quran. The widespread explanation ‘God's gift’ adds an interpretation that the word does not literally contain; reward and recompense provide the firmer meaning.
The ending “-in” is a common final sound with no single meaning across these names. Derin, Yasemin and Aylin each need to be understood through their own formation. More girl names ending in -in →
