What is the meaning of the name Nariman ?

The baby name Nariman is a Male name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced NAH-ree-MAHN (approx. /nɑːˈriːmɑːn/).

Nariman is Persian in Origin.

Rooted in Persian and older Avestan layers, Nariman unites nar-/ner (man, hero) with -man/-mān (spirit, mind), yielding meanings such as heroic man, brave-minded, or manly spirit. In the Shahnameh, Nariman stands at the head of the heroic lineage, father of Sam and grandfather of Zal, thus forebear of Rostam, anchoring the name in Iran’s epic imagination and ensuring enduring usage from medieval to modern times.

The name travels widely across the Iranianate world and the Caucasus, borne by poets, statesmen, and scholars; in Azerbaijan and former Soviet regions it gained visibility through the revolutionary Nariman Narimanov (commemorated in Baku’s Narimanov district). Common forms include Nariman (international), Nârimân/Narimân or نریمان (Persian), Nəriman (Azerbaijani), and Нариман (Russian and other Central Asian Cyrillic). Variant spellings like Nareman also occur. Although chiefly masculine, usage patterns vary by region; do not confuse it with the Turkish female name Nermin.
