Esman is in Origin.

Esman is a rare given name with several plausible roots. In parts of the Balkans and Anatolia it appears as a regional spelling of Osman (from Arabic Uthman), the name of the third Rashidun caliph; in that lineage it carries the bird-derived sense “bustard.” In Germanic onomastics, Esman is sometimes set alongside Esmond/Esmund or Old Norse Ásmundr, names built from elements meaning “god” (ás) and “protection” (mund). It also exists as a Dutch or Low German surname meaning “ash-tree man” (es + man), occasionally transferred to first-name use.

Attested as a family name since early modern Europe and sporadically as a given name since the 19th century, Esman remains uncommon and international in flavor. Related forms and near-variants include Osman, Usman, Uthman; Esmond, Esmund, Esmon; Asmund/Åsmund; and the surnames Esman/Esmann. Depending on derivation, interpretations range from “bustard” to “divine protection” to “man by the ash tree.”
