What does İzzettin mean?
The honour and dignity of the faith
In Turkish: dinin yüceliği, şerefi ve itibarı
İzzettin belongs to a historical group of names and titles formed with dīn, 'faith'. The Seljuk ruler İzzeddin Keykavus provides a well-known historical example. It shares its first element with İzzet and its second with Nurettin and Bedrettin; İzzeddin and İzzettin represent the same underlying name.
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 →
