What does Peyman mean?
Pledge, oath, agreement
In Turkish: verilen söz, ant, anlaşma
Peyman conveys the binding force of a promise and the idea of honoring an agreement. In Turkish, the word belongs more to literary language than everyday conversation. Classical poetry can use it for a pledge of attachment or love, so the name's associations extend beyond a formal or legal contract.
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 →
