What is the meaning of the name Paymaneh ?

The baby name Paymaneh is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced PAY-mah-neh (IPA: /pejˈmɑːne/).

Paymaneh is Persian in Origin.

Paymaneh (Persian پیمانه, transliterated Peymāneh) is a Persian feminine name meaning “measure” or “measuring cup,” and by extension “goblet/chalice” - a vessel that in Persian verse often symbolizes the portion allotted by fate or the intoxicating draught of love and insight. The word is a common literary noun in New Persian and is likely continued from Middle Persian roots for “measure,” with the familiar -eh ending used for concrete nouns.

In classical poetry - especially Hafez and other Sufi-inflected writers - pey(mā)neh appears as the wine cup, giving the name a cultured, poetic aura. As a given name it gained currency in Iran in the late 20th century and remains rare but distinctive in Persian-speaking diasporas. Variants include Peymaneh (most common), Paymaneh, Peymane, and Paymane; with diacritics Peymāneh. Sometimes shortened to Peyma. Not to be confused with the masculine Peyman/Payman (“covenant”).
