Meaning & origin
Eiman is a graceful Arabic name meaning 'faith,' directly tied to the Quranic term 'iman.' In U.S. birth records, it first appeared in 1974, with 2010 being its peak year, though it has never entered the top 1000. The name's trajectory over the last decades has been stable, reflecting steady but low usage. Eiman is a straightforward, spiritually meaningful choice that resonates deeply in Muslim communities.
Eiman originates from the Arabic root '-m-n', meaning 'to be secure' or 'to trust'. It is a direct feminine form of the Quranic word 'iman' (faith). The name is used in many Muslim-majority countries and among Arabic-speaking communities, though it remains less common in English-speaking contexts.
