Connection: Quranic word · Quran reference 49:7
Read the linked verse for the Quranic connection. The meaning and spelling notes explain the name itself; a word in the Quran is not necessarily the name of a person mentioned there.
Language and spelling
The dictionary describes Iman as typically feminine in Arabic and masculine in Persian. Its shared faith meaning does not justify separate duplicate guides for those gender uses.
