Uthman (name)
Uthman (also spelled Othman, Arabic: عثمان ʿuthmān) is a male Arabic given name[1] with the general meaning of "wise, most powerful, intuitive" and it is popular as a male given name among Muslims. It is also transliterated as Osman or Usman, in Persian, Bosnian, Turkish, Urdu and in some Arabic dialects, as there is either no /θ/ sound or the character ⟨ﺙ⟩ is pronounced differently in those languages. It is also used as surname. It is also a less common name of German origins.[2]
