Meaning

Rinat (Ukrainian: Рінат) is a male name of Arabic-Turkic origin meaning «one who received a gift», «reborn», «renewed» — from the Arabic root meaning «to give, to bestow».

Origin & History

The name derives from Arabic رِنات (Rinat) or, by another version, is a Soviet-era acronym (Ri-Na-T — «Revolution, the People (Narod), Labour (Trud)»), especially popular among the Turkic-speaking peoples of the USSR in the 20th century. The most common and linguistically plausible etymology is the Arabic-Persian root meaning «renewed, reborn, one to whom (a gift) is given». In Ukraine the name Rinat is found primarily among the Crimean Tatar, Tatar, and other Turkic-speaking communities, for whom it forms part of a cultural-religious identity.

Etymology & Roots

From Arabic r-n-t («to give a gift, to be reborn») — «renewed, one to whom (a gift) is given»; by another version a Soviet-era acronym of the 20th century.
