What is the meaning of the name Chaman ?

The baby name Chaman is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /tʃəˈmɑːn/ (chuh-MAHN).

Chaman is Persian in Origin.

Chaman is a South Asian given name of Persian origin, from chaman (چمن), meaning “garden,” “meadow,” or a place of blossoms. Through Persian it entered Urdu and Hindi, where chaman evokes lush Mughal gardens and appears frequently in classical poetry and song. The name has been used across North India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan since at least the late 19th–20th centuries, most commonly for boys, and is also found as a surname or in compound personal names.

Variants and related forms include compound names such as Chaman Lal, Chaman Singh, and Chaman Ali; Punjabi elaborations like Chamanjit or Chamanpreet occur; and the feminine poetic form Chaman Ara is attested. Cognate or thematic parallels are Gulshan, Gulistan, Bagh/Bageecha, and Phoolbagh. Spelling remains stable as Chaman in English transliteration. Not to be confused with “shaman” or Spanish chamán, which are etymologically unrelated.
