Uthman (Arabic: عُثمَانُ, romanized: Uṯmānᵘ), also spelled Othman, is a male Arabic given name with the general meaning of "wise, most powerful, dragon cub". It is popular as a male given name among Muslims. It is also transliterated as Osman or Usman, particularly when the name occurs in languages which either have no /θ/ sound or where the character ⟨ﺙ⟩ is pronounced differently, such as Persian, Bosnian, Turkish, and Urdu, as well as some Arabic dialects.
