Emaan

Girl name · 56 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Emaan: 56 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 9 births in 2009.

Emaan is a beautiful name of Arabic origin, meaning "faith" or "belief" – a direct reflection of its spiritual roots. It is a variant of the more widely known Iman, sharing the same core concept of unwavering trust. While not yet attached to a globally famous bearer, the name is cherished across many Muslim communities, often given in the hope a child will grow up strong in their convictions. No major place connections exist, but the name’s etymology links it to the same root as the Arabic word for "safety" or "protection." A notable variant is the spelling Iman, famously borne by the Somali-American supermodel Iman. For Scottish parents, Emaan offers a melodic, meaningful choice that bridges cultures and carries a universal sense of inner strength.
