What is the meaning of the name Boman ?

The baby name Boman is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced BOH-man (ˈboʊ.mən),boh-MAHN (boʊˈmɑːn) — Persian-influenced.

Boman is Persian, Scandinavian, Swedish in Origin.

Boman is a masculine given name of Persian (Zoroastrian/Parsi) origin, ultimately from Avestan Vohu Manah ‘good mind, good purpose.’ Through Middle Persian Vahman/Wahman and New Persian Bahman - the name of an Amesha Spenta and a month - it developed in Parsi usage to Boman. The sense centers on wisdom, benevolent intention, and right thinking.

Used primarily among the Parsi community in India and in Iranian Zoroastrian circles, the name appears in records from the 18th century forward; modern bearers include Indian actor Boman Irani. Variants and related forms include Bahman, Vahman, Vohuman, and the affectionate Bomi; compound honorific Bomanji also occurs. In Scandinavia and among Swedish speakers, Boman is more common as a surname (from bo ‘dwelling, farm’ + man ‘man’), an unrelated etymology that sometimes transfers to given-name use.
