Meaning
Ayman (أَيْمَن) is an Arabic name for boys, taken from a word in the Quran. It means blessed, on the right side. It comes from yumn, blessing and good fortune. In Arabic the right side is the side of blessing.
In Arabic, words are built from a root of usually three letters. Ayman comes from the root ي م ن, and words from the same root share its core meaning. Similar names from the same family of words are listed below.
The word al-ayman is in 19:52, for the blessed right side of Mount Tur where Allah called Musa.
وَنَٰدَيْنَٰهُ مِن جَانِبِ ٱلطُّورِ ٱلْأَيْمَنِ وَقَرَّبْنَٰهُ نَجِيًّۭا
Wa naadainaahu min jaanibit Tooril aimani wa qarrabnaahu najiyyaa
And We called him from the side of the mount at [his] right and brought him near, confiding [to him].

Say it AY-man. The capital letters show the stressed part. In English it is also spelled Aiman and Aymen. In Arabic it is written with 4 letters, from right to left: أ alif with hamza + ي ya + م mim + ن nun.
Many parents choose Ayman to name their child after someone from the early generations of Islam, hoping the child will grow up with the same qualities. With the father's name it becomes Ayman bin (and the father's name): see what bin, bint and abu mean.
