Salmani is Arabic in Origin.

Salmani is an Arabic–Persian nisba name formed by adding the adjectival suffix -i to Salman, itself from the Arabic root s‑l‑m meaning “peace, safety, wholeness.” The sense is “of Salman” or “belonging to Salman,” and by association it carries the qualities “peaceful” and “secure.” Written سلماني/سلمانی, it is also transliterated Salmanī.

In classical naming, al‑Salmānī identified lineage, affiliation, or discipleship, appearing in medieval biographical dictionaries and hadith chains; some bearers were associated with the Companion Salman al‑Fārisi. Over time it became a hereditary surname across Iran, Iraq, the Arabian Peninsula (notably Oman and Yemen), and South Asia, where it can also denote the barber trade. As a given name, Salmani is uncommon but used in Muslim communities, primarily for boys. Variants and spellings include Salmanī, al‑Salmani, as‑Salmani, and Salmani; the closely related base name is Salman, which directly means “safe, secure; one in peace.”
