Iman is Arabic, Urdu in Origin.
Iman is a unisex given name from Arabic ʾīmān, “faith” or “belief,” derived from the root ʾ‑m‑n associated with trust and spiritual security. It appears across the Arabic-speaking world and in Muslim communities in Persia/Iran, Turkey, the Horn of Africa, and South Asia. A longstanding virtue name, it spread in recent decades through migration, gaining wider recognition via public figures such as the Somali model Iman.
Common variants and transliterations include Imaan (favored in Urdu and Hindi contexts), Imane (French-influenced Maghreb), and Eman (Egypt, the Levant, and South Asia); the scholarly form Imān marks the long vowel. Related names from the same Semitic root include Amin/Amina and Aman, emphasizing trustworthiness and peace. Widely feminine in Arab and Maghrebi usage, it is often masculine in Iran and unisex in the diaspora. Iman conveys a concise, dignified meaning of inner conviction, devotion, and steadfast belief.
