Imaan
Girl name · 82 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Imaan: 82 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 6 births in 2001.
The name Imaan, widely used in Muslim communities, is a direct Arabic word meaning "faith" or "belief," closely related to the concept of spiritual conviction in Islam. Among its notable bearers is the Somali-British model Imaan Hammam, who has broken barriers in the fashion industry as a hijabi cover star. While no major places are named directly after bearers of Imaan, the root appears in the Arabic Iman, which influences many place names across the Middle East. A strong connection to spirituality, Imaan is often paired with names like Aisha or Muhammad, and its variants, such as Eman or Iman, are equally popular—the latter famously chosen by the late supermodel Iman. This name carries a serene, powerful resonance for modern families.
