Shadman (Persian شادمان; Urdu شادمان; Bengali শাদমান; Tajik Шодмон) is a Persian-Urdu given name meaning “joyful, glad, happy-hearted.” It derives from Persian šād “happy” plus the productive suffix -mān, indicating possession or state, yielding the sense “one who is joyful” or “possessor of joy.” The term exists in Persian as an adjective and has long conveyed cheerfulness and felicity in literary and everyday usage.

As a personal name, it appears in Persianate societies from the medieval era and later entered Urdu and Bengali naming through cultural exchange, remaining in use across Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and their diasporas. Variants and transliterations include Shaadman, Shadmaan, Shādman, and the Central Asian Shodmon/Shadmon. Related but separate names are Shadan (“joyful”) and Shadmehr (“joy + love/sun”). The name is chiefly masculine, with occasional unisex use; short forms such as Shad are familiar.
