About Arman
Although the international Arman is traditionally a male name, we have heard it used for girls.
Arman for boys#1204 US
One of those truly international names, with a similar feel to Roman, Arthur, and Artem, without the popularity, in the US at least. The name is in fact in the Top 50 in Armenia and Bosnia, while it also features in the UK Top 800.
Strong and solid, with the gentler M sound too, Arman could be a a variation of the German name Herman, meaning "soldier". It could be inspired by the French and Catalan form, Armand.
Alternatively, Arman could be a form of Armen, an Armenian name literally meaning "land of Armenia", but it can equally be a name in its own right, from Persian and Kazakh origin, meaning "hope, dream, purpose" or from Turkish meaning "wish".
A powerful name, Arman travels well.
Pronounced AHR-mun.
As of October 2026, Arman ranked #1204 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #981 in 1999.
