Aman
Boy name · 10 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Aman: 10 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 4 births in 2004.
Of Arabic origin, Aman means "peace" or "safety," drawn directly from the word for security and protection. It shares its root with the phrase *Aman Allah*, meaning "the peace of God." Notable bearers include Amanollah Khan, a former king of Afghanistan, and Aman Tuleyev, a prominent Russian politician. The name also appears in the Hindu tradition as a variant of Aman, signifying "peace" in Sanskrit, giving it a dual spiritual resonance across cultures. Places with related roots include Amman, the capital of Jordan, which shares the same Semitic linguistic heritage. As a modern choice, Aman has grown gently in popularity in Scotland since the late 20th century, appreciated for its simple elegance and universal message of harmony.
