Usman

Usman (sometimes spelled as Osman) is the South Asian form of the Muslim given name Othman. In Urdu/Hindi languages , spoken in India and Pakistan, "th" is sometimes pronounced as "s" , leading to a new form of the same name.

Since Usman or Othman was the name of Muslim Ruler (Caliph) Uthman Ibn Affan, therefore it is a very popular given name among Muslims.

The Turkish Ottoman Empire also derived its name from its predecessor of this name.

The name Usman typically means "The Chosen One" . In Arabic it is also sometimes used to refer to a bird however the widespread meaning of the name is "The Chosen One".

In addition to that , since the Muslim Caliph Uthman was known for his generosity , in some cultures the name Usman is synonymous with generosity, sincerity and purity of heart.
