Bahmân is Persian in Origin.
Bahmân is a Persian masculine name rooted in Avestan Vohu Manah (“good mind; benevolent purpose”), one of the Amesha Spentas in Zoroastrianism. Through Middle Persian Vahman/Bahman, the form settled in New Persian as Bahman, and the calendar month Bahman (mid-winter) preserves the same sacred association with wisdom, right thinking, and kind intent.
Literary tradition in Ferdowsi’s Shahnameh presents Kay Bahman, a Kayanian king, often linked by later historians to an Artaxerxes of the Achaemenid line, giving the name regal and heroic resonance. Usage spans Iran, Afghanistan, and Tajik Persian communities and the wider diaspora; Zoroastrians have also favored it for its theological roots. Common variants and transliterations include Bahman, Bahmaan, and Bāhman; older forms Vahman/Bahman appear in Pahlavi texts. The name is distinct from Bahram.
Nothing for Bahmân shows up in the birth registries or name datasets we track. Names like this are usually very rare, tied to a particular region or tradition, or freshly invented. Whatever the reason, hardly anyone else has it.
