Ayman (Arabic: أيمن, also spelled as Aiman, Aimen, Aymen, or Eymen in the Latin alphabet) is an Arabic masculine given name.[3] It is derived from the Arabic Semitic root (ي م ن) for right, and literally means righteous, on the right, right-handed, blessed or lucky.[4]
An early bearer of the name was Ayman ibn Ubayd, an early Muslim and companion of the Islamic prophet Muhammad.
In Turkish, the name is spelled as Eymen. Eymen was the second most popular given name for boys born in Turkey in 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019.[5][6][7]
In Malaysia, Aiman was the 24th most popular name for male newborns in 2012.[8]
