Full Meaning of Eemen

Eemen is a Quranic name for boys that’s directly mentioned in the Quran. Eemen means “blessed” and “good fortune”, and literally means “on the right side”. In Arabic (and Islamic) culture the right side is associated with strength, blessings and good luck.

And when he came to it, he was called by a voice from a bush in a blessed spot, on the right side of the valley: ‘O Moses, I am God, Lord of the Universe.’ (Quran 28:30)

In Eemen the stress is on the first part of the word, Ay, and the second part, man, is said quickly and with a short “a”, which is read like the “u” in humble. Don’t say Aymaan, because that changes the word to mean oaths.
