Peyman is Persian in Origin.

Peyman is a Persian given name (Persian: پیمان, Peymān) meaning “oath, covenant, pact,” by extension “promise.” It descends from Middle Persian pāymān, a noun for “treaty” and “measure/limit,” probably built from pāy “base/foot” plus the nominal suffix -mān. The word features frequently in classical Persian poetry - Hafez, Saʿdi, and others speak of keeping the peymān of friendship - while the modern use as a personal name rose in Iran during the 20th century and remains common among Iranian communities worldwide, as well as in Dari- and Tajik-speaking regions.

Transliterations and regional variants include Peymān, Peiman, Paiman, and Payman; Kurdish usage often favors Payman and may be unisex, while Tajik writes Paymon (Паймон). The name also occurs in Azerbaijani and Turkish contexts via Persian influence. Bearers are typically drawn to its ethical resonance, suggesting reliability, loyalty, and faithfulness to one’s word.
