Ayman Shehata
Ayman ( ar, أيمن, also spelled as Aiman, Aimen, Aymen, or Eymen in the Latin alphabet) is an Arabic masculine given name. It is derived from the Arabic Semitic root () for ''right'', and literally means ''righteous'', ''he who is on the right'', ''right-handed'', ''blessed'' or ''lucky''. An early bearer of the name was Ayman ibn Ubayd, an early Muslim and companion of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. It is a masculine name in the Arabic language. However, in Pakistan, Ayman is used both as a masculine and feminine name. This may be because of the popular woman figure Umm Ayman, who raised Muhammad, whom parents name their daughter after. Her first name was ''Barakah'', and Umm Ayman was her kunya, with "Umm" meaning ''mother of'', and Ayman being the name of her eldest son, Ayman ibn Ubayd. In Turkey, the name is spelled as ''Eymen''. Eymen was the second most popular given name for boys born in the country in 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019. In Malaysia, Aiman was the 24th most p ...
