Shervin (Persian: شروین), also spelled Sherveen, Shervyn or Sherwin, is a Persian given name.
The name is understood to mean "immortal and eternal soul" and "like a lion" and also one who is loved by everyone ("beloved of the people").[citation needed]
Shervin is thought to be the shortened form of Anushirvan. One interpretation of the name is a combination of "Anousheh", meaning eternal, An alternative translation of Shervin is "like a lion", derived from the words "shir", meaning 'lion', and "vin", meaning 'resembling'.[citation needed]
Shervin was also the name of several princes in the ancient Tabarestan region of Iran (today's Mazandaran and Gilan province), including a grandfather of the author of Marzbannameh (Marzban ibn-e Rostam ibn-e Shervin, 12th century).[citation needed]
In Savadkuh County, located at the center of Mazandaran Province in Iran, part of the Alborz mountain chain is named Shervin and is one of the local natural attractions.[citation needed]
