sterlin

Sterlin is a personal name used as a variant spelling of Sterling. It can function as a given name or, less commonly, as a surname in English-speaking contexts. In contemporary usage, Sterlin as a given name appears among a range of individuals, with varying regional popularity.

One notable bearer is Sterlin Harjo (born 1979), an American filmmaker of the Muscogee Nation who co-created the television series Reservation Dogs. His work has brought attention to Native American storytelling and contemporary Indigenous cinema.

Linguistic usage of the term sterlin appears in Turkish, where it is the common word for the pound sterling. The currency is internationally identified by the code GBP and is issued by the Bank of England. In Turkish-language finance and media, prices and financial reports may quote amounts in sterlin, sometimes accompanied by the symbol £ or the code GBP. This usage reflects how many languages adopt local spellings for major world currencies.

Beyond these uses, sterlin is primarily encountered as a given-name variant and as a linguistic rendering for the British currency in Turkish-speaking contexts. It does not denote a separate monetary system or widely recognized entity beyond those senses.
