Meaning of Aydin
Aydin is a Quranic name for boys that means hands, power, strength. It is directly mentioned in Quran 51:47 and 7:195:
AND IT IS We who have built the universe with [Our creative] power; and, verily, it is We who are steadily expanding it. (Quran 51:47)
This name shouldn’t be confused with the Turkish name Aydın, which means “educated, intellectual, enlightened” and is pronounced differently. For more information see this answer.

if you are referring to quran then you cant read it as one word ( aydin ) it should sound as ( aydi ) as the Tanween we dont say it in one word , as if you read quran we should read the full ayah so it can sound ( aydin ) … it means hands.
not all words of quran we use it as words ( unless you like to call some one his name is hands ). will you call your son hand or leg ??
as an arab we have logic before using words and kindly do ask any arab person before letting others just name their kids with no real background.
you may call it a name but dont refer back to quran with our knowledge of quran and Arabic together so your son name wont sound funny or wrong meaning.

Allah ‘azza wa jal said in surat Ath-Thariyat (51) ayah (47):
{وَالسَّمَاء بَنَيْنَاهَا بِأَيْدٍ وَإِنَّا لَمُوسِعُونَ}
(47) سورة الذاريات
Translation (Hilali & Khan):
With power did We construct the heaven. Verily, We are Able to extend the vastness of space thereof (51:47)
Some claim that the tafsir of the word “Aydin” as “power” is ta’wil of the word, for they say that “Aydin” in this ayah is plural of “hands”.
So they say that Ibn Kathir rahimahu Allah made ta’wil of Allah’s attribute of “yad”.
Reply to this claim:
Aydin can either be the plural of the root word yad (meaning hand – literally), or it can be the word “Ayd“, which literally means power in Arabic.
So which one is it?
1_ The plural of yad that means “hand”?
or
2_ “Ayd” which literally means power ?
Answer:
It is # 2 = the word Ayd which literally means “power”.
Evidences for that:
1_ Majority of the Arabic dictionaries (Ma’ajim) mention this ayah under the root word “Ayd” and not “Yad”, confirming that it is the word Ayd and not the plural of yad that means hand.
2_ Muhammad ar-Razi (666 A.H.) said in “Mukhtar as-Sihah” under the root “yad”, when speaking about this ayah:
قلتُ: قوله تعالى: (بأَيْد) أي بقُوَّةٍ وهو مَصْدَر آدَ يئِيدُ أَيْداً إذا قَوِيَ وليس جَمْعاً لِيدٍ ليُذْكَر هُنَا بل مَوْضعُه بابُ الدَّالِ. وقد نَصَّ الأزَهَري على هذه الآية في الأيدِ بمعنى المَصْدَر. ولا أَعْرِفُ أَحدَاً من أَئِمَة اللُّغَة أو التَّفْسِير ذَهَبَ إلى ما ذَهَب إليه الجَوْهَرِي من أَنَّها جَمْعُ يَدٍ.
Translation:
“I said: His (Allah) saying: (Bi-aydin) meaning with power, and it is the root Aada ya’idu aydan if he became strong; and it is not the plural of yad/hand, for it to be mentioned here (under the root word yad) , its place is in the section of the letter dal. and al Azhari (370 A.H.) mentioned this ayah under the word al Ayd meaning the root. And I do not know any of the imams of the Arabic language or tafsir who had the same opinion of al Jawhari that it is the plural of yad – hand.”
3_ Imam Ibn Khuzaimah (d. 311 A.H.) rahimahu Allah said in his book “Tawhid”:
“And some of Jahmiyah claimed that the meaning of his saying ‘Allah created Adam with His (two) hands‘ is ‘His power’, so he claimed that ‘the yad’ means power, and this is from changing (words) also, and it is ignorance of the Arabic language , and power is called in the Arab’s language “Al-ayd” not “al-yad” ….. Allah has informed us that he created the heaven (As-sama’) with (Ayd) power, and (al-yad) the hand and (al-yadan) the two hands are different than (al-ayd) power; for if Allah created Adam with ayd like he created the heaven, without favouring the creation of Adam with His (two) hands He (Allah) wouldn’t have said to Iblees: (ما منعك أن تسجد لما خلقت بيدي – (Allâh) said: ‘O Iblîs (Satan)! What prevents you from prostrating yourself to one whom I have created with Both My Hands 38:75’ , and there is no doubt that Allah Azza wa Jal has created Iblees (Allah’s curse be upon him) also with His power.
Conclusion:
Explaining the word “aydin” to mean power is not ta’wil, it is confirming the dhahir & haqiqi meaning of the word, which is “ayd” meaning power, so their is no ta’wil in this ayah.

What is the mean of aydin in QURAN, as in Turkish its means “educated, intelectual”.
Is the same pronunciation as reciting in video, in Turkish also.

aydin in which ayat of quaran…………………………………………………………………..
on Saturday 28th of January 2017 09:26:32 PM
Aydin is defiened as a turkish name not as a islamic arabic name. Even the name Aydin means ” clear ” or “enlightened” in turkish. If Aydin really was a islamic arabic name then most arabs would be named Aydin. But every Aydin ive seen is either Turk or from Balkan. Just because the name Aydin is mentioned meaning for another thing in the quran doesnt mean its true. Aydin is defiened as a turkish name not a arabic islamic one.

Even if Aydin means Power and you can have name as Ayd but can you have a name in Jarr form like Aydin. Which in english would literally mean “power of”. Can you please elaborate on this?
on Sunday 29th of October 2017 07:56:11 PM

أيدٍ is me name i am British but i am islamic
i think it means faith the one to trust or love one to depend on
on Saturday 10th of March 2018 12:42:43 AM
Stupid if you think this is an islamic name. this could not be farther from the truth, it is in the family of the irish name aiden and the israeli name edan. aydin is the turkic, baltic and indo-iranian spelling. do not attempt to make connections that do not exist.

Aydın is Turkish actual word that is used daily basis. When we say “Aydın ” in a daily basis, we mean ” it is clear” Aydın is NOT Arabic name. I can say 1000 sentences which has ” Aydın ” there. And almost all Turkish names have meaning. As a name ‘Aydın ‘ means “Light” . Arabs never use aydın in any sentences.

If it was Arabic, my parents would not definetly give that name to me. AYDIN is a Turkic name.

Islamic names and Arabic names are different things. Names from the Quran and of good meaning can be Muslim names – it not necessary for the name to be of Arabic origin to also be a Muslim name. If you are living abroad be mindful that the name you give your child also has a good meaning in the country you live in – do not make it overly difficult and burdensome on your child. There are many options and as the Muslim community grows so will the considerations of names; especially in countries where more Muslims have converted.

on Wednesday 1st of September 2021 04:58:33 PM
please remove, this is not a quranic or islamic name.

Aiden, Aydin or however you want to spell it could either mean fire, illumination and so on or Etan meaning wise. I find many similarities with how the thought of the Semitic person was as their languages are like our Ojibwe in the sense that there is always a deeper root or connection, the difference is that we can see it right away, they have to decipher though more words to explain this. Aydin is Semitic in origin as an archaic word first. Over years and centuries names go out of fashion, but through the living tongue we can sometimes reveal ancient truths.

Aydin is a Turkic name which has nothing to do with Islam or the Quran. The word means enlightened in Turkish and has absolutely nothing to do with the Muhammadan religion in any form whatsoever. Do not stand by and listen to Arabs or Muslims trying to claim the name,it has nothing to do with Islam.
