This one is also a planet and a metallic element, and has a friendly nickname, Merc. The Roman god Mercury, which derives from the Latin words for trade or wages, is the patron of tradesmen and travelers and the fastest-moving planet in the solar system. Mercury is the planet associated with the sign of Virgo, so this is one of the prime names for Virgo babies.

In Vietnamese, it means "belief" or "trust," making it a name with positive virtues embedded in its meaning. In Chinese culture, the name can represent different characters depending on the tone and written form, potentially meaning "sky" or other concepts. As a Western name, Tin might be used as a shortened form of names like Martin, Austin, or Constantin. The brevity of Tin gives it a modern, minimalist appeal that works well cross-culturally. While uncommon as a standalone name in most Western countries, its simplicity and international versatility make it an increasingly interesting choice for parents seeking a name that is both concise and meaningful.
