Shahin (also spelled Chahine, Chahin, Shaaheen, Shaahin, Shaheen, or Şahin, Persian: شاهين, Shāhīn) is a name of Persian origin, referring to the Shaheen Falcon.
The name Shahin is constructed from Shah meaning King and the suffix in meaning Royal in Persian. Falconry was widely practiced by royalty in ancient Mesopotamia, from the time of the Assyrians, hence possibly the transfer of the name to the falcons themselves. Also, Shahin in Persian culture is son of Vahoman or Bahman meaning Wisdom.[citation needed]
