Meaning and origin of Emaan
Emaan is the way many South Asian families write the Arabic īmān, faith in God. Its root ʾ-m-n joins the idea of believing to those of safety and trust. The doubled 'aa' follows the usual way long vowels are spelled in Pakistan and India, and it is in those two countries that Emaan has become a favourite for daughters. In the Arab world the same name generally appears as Iman or Eman.
