Shervin

Shervin (Persian: شروین) is a Persian (Iranian) (variations: Sherveen or Sherwin) name given to boys. the name Shervin also exists in the dutch language. The Dutch form is Shirwin and it has the same meaning as the Persian Shervin. The name Shervin is occasionally given to girls, often in the form "Shervineh" or "Shervin Dokht", meaning "the daughter of Shervin".

Shervin is thought to be the shortened form of Anushirvan (Anosheh+ravan) which means 'everlasting', 'pure' or 'eternal' (Anousheh) 'soul' (Ravan). Anushirvan was the title of Khosrau I the ancient king of Sasanid dynasty in Persia (Iran).^{[citation needed]}

Shervin was also the name of several princes in the ancient Tabarestan region of Iran (Today's Mazandaran and Gilan), including a grandfather of the author of Marzbannameh (Marzban ibn-e Rostam ibn-e Shervin, 12th century).^{[citation needed]}

An alternative translation of Shervin is "like a lion" derived from the Persian "shir", which meaning, and "vin", which means resembling. These words originated from the Indo-Iranian languages, so Shervin would mean 'Like a Lion', e.g., brave.^{[citation needed]}
