Meaning and origin of Amaan
Amaan comes from the Arabic aman, 'safety', 'security' or 'protection', from the root a-m-n, which also gives amin, 'trustworthy', and iman, 'faith'. It entered Urdu, Persian and Hindi with the same sense, and it is widely used by Muslim families in South Asia. The old label of Sanskrit origin is mistaken; the Hindi word aman is a loan from Arabic.
