Seyfeddin: Do you have the origin and/or meaning of the name Seyfeddin? Thank you.

Fairoza is used by Arabs and Persians as well. Many Names in Turkish are of Perso-Arabic origin because of the history of the spread of Islam and of the Ottoman empire, so I assume that Fairoza is one of these names.
