engin

Engin is a masculine given name of Turkish origin. It derives from the Turkish adjective engin, meaning vast, wide, or extensive, and by extension connotes depth and breadth. As a name, Engin is used primarily in Turkey and among Turkish-speaking communities; it is almost exclusively a first name rather than a surname.

Notable people with the given name include Engin Altan Düzyatan (born 1979), a Turkish actor best known for his role in Diriliş: Ertuğrul and other television series and films.

In Turkish culture, the name carries positive associations of scale and significance, and it is one of many Turkish given names derived from adjectives describing nature and geography. While Engin is most common as a given name, it may occasionally appear in diaspora communities; as a surname it is uncommon. The spelling Engin is also found in other Turkic-language contexts and may be transliterated identically in non-Turkish settings.
