What Does the Name Pejman Mean?
Pejman is a Persian masculine name meaning "sorrowful." It is the same as the Persian adjective pezhman (پژمان), which Persian dictionaries gloss as grieved or dejected. The name is not formed from separately meaningful modern Persian parts; its sense comes from the adjective as a whole. Pezhman is a transliteration variant that spells the Persian letter zhe (ژ) more literally than the common English form Pejman.
Pejman Name History & Origins
In Persian script the name is پژمان, and Persian lexicography records pezhman as an ordinary adjective. Its written form uses the letter zhe (ژ), a sound like the s in English measure; because English has no standard way to spell that sound, both Pejman and Pezhman appear. The name repeats that adjective rather than deriving from a saint, prophet, or epic character, and it is used as a given name in Iran and among Persian speakers elsewhere.
