Boy name
Ayman name meaning
“fortunate, auspicious; on the right side”
Ayman means “fortunate, auspicious; on the right side” and comes from Arabic ayman, a word linking the right side with good fortune. Used as a masculine name in Türkiye, it is directly related to Eymen, another Turkish rendering of the same Arabic word, and to Arabic yumn, meaning good fortune.
What does Ayman mean?
Fortunate, auspicious; on the right side
In Turkish: uğurlu, kutlu; sağ tarafta olan
Under the Arabic interpretation, Ayman reflects the historical association between the right side and good fortune. The explanation resembling the moon belongs to a different Turkish interpretation. These accounts should be kept distinct, since the same Latin-script spelling can conceal different intended origins.
The ending “-an” is a common final sound rather than a suffix with one shared meaning here. Aslan, Hasan and Yaman have different origins and structures despite their matching endings. More boy names ending in -an →
