Hemin (Kurdish: Hemîn) denotes 'calm', 'tranquil', or 'peaceful' in Kurdish and is used primarily as a male given name. The name appears in modern Kurdish literary and journalistic circles—most famously as the pen-name of the 20th-century Kurdish poet Hemin Mukriyani—providing verifiable historical attestation in Kurdish cultural records. Hemin is used by Muslim Kurds as a culturally rooted personal name; it is not a name from classical Arabic or the Quran, so there is no Quranic verse directly associated with it. In Kurdish naming practice, Hemin sits in a thematic cluster with names emphasizing peace and stability, such as [[Soran]] and [[Baran]], and it is valued for its gentle phonetics and positive meaning. The name remains uncommon outside Kurdish-speaking areas, making it a distinct choice for parents seeking a Kurdish-origin Muslim name with literary pedigree.
