Puzhman is in Origin.

Puzhman is a Persian masculine given name, a transliteration of پژمان (pežmān). In Classical and Middle Persian, pažmān denoted sorrow, regret, and yearning; as an adjective in New Persian it came to mean “melancholic,” “dejected,” or “wistful.” The name thus carries the sense of one marked by deep longing or poignant feeling, a mood frequently evoked in Persian lyric poetry.

Use as a personal name rose in the 20th century in Iran and among the diaspora, likely influenced by literary tastes and by notable bearers such as the poet Pezhman Bakhtiari; contemporary figures with the common spelling Pejman have also kept it visible. Variant forms include Pezhman, Pejman, Pazhman, and the long-vowel spellings Pezhmân/Pejmān; feminine use is rare. Related adjectives in neighboring languages (Turkish pişman, Kurdish puşman), borrowed from Persian, share the core idea of regret. Nicknames may shorten to Pej/Pezh.
