Seval is a Turkish feminine given name composed of two elements: sev meaning "love" and al meaning "red." Thus, the name can be interpreted as "red love" or "love red." It reflects a common Turkish onomastic tradition of creating names from meaningful words. In Turkish culture, names often carry positive connotations related to emotions, nature, or colors. Seval is a relatively modern name, not deeply rooted in historical or religious texts. The name is less common than names like Sevgi (love) or the masculine Sevindik (beloved), but it stands out for its unique combination. There is no known notable bearer in history or popular culture from a Turkish context; however, the Wikipedia entry for "Seval" primarily refers to a 2008 Tamil-language Indian film titled Seval, which is unrelated to the Turkish name. Therefore, Seval remains primarily recognized as a Turkish first name with a distinct meaning.
