What is the meaning of the name Aman ?

The baby name Aman is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /əˈmɑːn/ (uh-MAHN); also /ɑːˈmæn/ (AH-man) in some accents.

Aman is Arabic, Hindi, Persian, Sanskrit in Origin.

Aman is a cross-cultural given name rooted in Persian and Arabic amān, meaning “peace, safety, protection,” carried into Urdu and Hindi (and common in Punjabi) with the same sense. Across Turkic languages such as Kazakh and Turkmen, aman denotes being “safe, sound, intact,” supporting widespread use as a masculine name. In the Horn of Africa it also occurs independently and as a short form of Amanuel, and in some South Asian communities it is used unisex, though chiefly given to boys.

Documented for centuries in Persianate and Central Asian societies - where “aman” named the concept of safe-conduct - the name remains popular in India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, and their diasporas. Spellings and compounds include Amaan, Amanullah/Amanollah (“safety of God”), and Punjabi formations like Amanpreet or Amandeep; Turkic compounds such as Amanmyrat appear in Central Asia. Cognate or related forms include Amani (Arabic/Swahili) and Uzbek Omon. Core meanings cluster around peace, security, and well-being.
