Aydin: 109 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 9 births in 2009.
Aydin, of Turkish origin, means "bright, enlightened" or "intelligent," a name that has spread from Turkey into wider use across Europe and the UK. Perhaps the most famous bearer is Aydin Doğan, the wealthy Turkish businessman and media mogul who founded the Doğan Holding company. While no major place bears the name directly, the related Turkish town of Aydın in western Anatolia shares the same root, meaning "the enlightened one." In Scotland, Aydin has gained steady popularity since the 2000s, often chosen for its modern, cross-cultural appeal.
