Armaan means ‘wish’, ‘desire’ or ‘aspiration’ in Hindi and Urdu, from Persian. Wiktionary records the Persian word with senses including an ideal, goal, hope and desire, and the Indian forms with meanings of yearning and longing. The name uses this ordinary noun as a given name. Its Persian origin is documented, although the word's deeper linguistic history remains uncertain. The differences between Persian and Indian spellings also reflect a difference in the opening vowel.
