Sevinj is a female given name in Azerbaijani, derived as a variant of Sevinc. The root name Sevinc means "joy" in Azerbaijani, and Sevinj shares this same meaning. The name is closely related to the Turkish form Sevinç, which also conveys the concept of joy.
The name Sevinj is well-known in Azerbaijan and among Azerbaijani diaspora communities. Note that it should not be confused with the village of Sevenj (also Romanized Sevinj) in Iran; the given name and the village are distinct.
