Meaning and origin of Negin
Negin is the Persian word negīn, the precious stone set in a ring, the part of the ring that catches the eye. From that literal meaning it came to mean a jewel in general, and figuratively the finest or most valued part of something, the way a person might be called the jewel of a gathering. As a name it is usually translated 'gem' or 'jewel', and occasionally 'ring stone', but every version points to something precious and admired.
Negin is written نگین in Persian script and pronounced neh-GEEN. It is a popular modern girl's name in Iran and Afghanistan and is common among Iranians and Afghans abroad. Spellings vary with transliteration: Nagin and Nigin are heard in Afghan Dari, while in Urdu the same word appears as Nageen or Nagina, which share the same origin. The name has no Arabic root and is not Quranic, but its meaning is warm and positive, which has made it a well-liked choice among Muslim families in the Persian-speaking world.
