According to another version, the name Din (دين) is of Arabic origin. It is translated as “faith”, “religion”. The particle Din is often included in Arabic names: Izz-Al-Din, Muhammaddin, Aladdin. It is part of a family name and means “spiritual observer.”
In Hebrew the name Din means “judgment”, in ancient Greek it means “strength”. It is translated from Hindi (दिन) as “day”, and from Chinese as “stability”.

In Russia, the name Din is rare; its female version, Dina, is more common.
