Ijahman is in Origin.

Ijahman is a modern Rastafarian given name from Jamaican English with a Hebrew element. It fuses the Rasta “I” (from “I and I,” expressing oneness of self and the divine), “Jah” (the shortened Hebrew name of God), and “man” (person). The composite conveys “man of Jah” or “one in unity with God.” Though read as masculine, it can function as unisex within Rastafari contexts.

Public awareness grew in the 1970s via Jamaican reggae artist Ijahman Levi; usage has remained rare, concentrated in Jamaica, the Caribbean diaspora, and reggae-influenced communities. The name has little attested history before the Rastafarian era, reflecting a spiritual or honorific formation more than a traditional forename. Variants include I-Jahman, I Jahman, the shortened Jahman, and phonetic spellings such as Jahmon or Jahmaan.
