Aymen

Boy / Girl name · 7 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Aymen: 7 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to both boys and girls, peaking at 4 births in 2019.

Of Arabic origin, Aymen means "blessed" or "righteous," rooted in the word *yumn* signifying good fortune and divine favour; it is also linked to *Ayman*, meaning "on the right side," which in Arabic tradition carries connotations of strength and prosperity. Notable bearers include Aymen Abdennour, the Tunisian professional footballer who played for clubs like Monaco and Valencia, and Aymen Hussein, the Iraqi striker known for his international goals. Place connections are less direct, though the sense of blessedness echoes in many towns named Baraka across the Arab world, from Morocco to Sudan, all sharing the same Semitic root. A feminine variant, Aymane, is occasionally used in French-speaking contexts, while in Scotland the name has seen modest but steady usage since the early 2000s, reflecting its clean, lyrical sound.
