Kiman is a cross-cultural given name with two well-attested roots. In Vietnamese, it represents the compound Kim An (also written Kim-Ân), from Sino-Vietnamese kim “gold” and ân “grace, favor,” yielding meanings like “golden grace” or “precious kindness.” This form skews feminine and has circulated widely in Vietnam and diaspora communities since the late 20th century. Variants include Kim An, Kim-An, Kim Ân, and Kiman; related names are Kim and An.

In Korean, Kiman corresponds to the male name Ki-man/Gi-man (기만), whose meaning depends on the hanja chosen - Ki might be 基 “foundation,” 起 “rise,” or 祈 “prayer,” while Man is often 萬 “ten thousand; abundance” or 滿 “fullness.” Combined senses include “abundant foundation” or “fulfilled prayer.” Romanizations appear as Ki-man, Gi-man, Giman, and non-hyphenated Kiman. Contemporary global use treats Kiman as unisex; nicknames include Kim, Kimi, and Manny.
