What does Nermin mean?

Soft; delicate and fine

In Turkish: yumuşak; ince ve narin

Nermin turns a word for tactile softness into a given name. In literary language, its source word can describe fabric, skin, or a delicate appearance, and may also be used figuratively. Nermin and Nermîn reflect the same origin; the meaning describes the name rather than its bearer's temperament.
