Meaning & Origin
A surname.
Ferman is a boy's baby name of Turkish origin, from the Turkish ferman — from the Persian farmān, meaning 'imperial decree, royal command.' The ferman was the formal edict of the Ottoman sultan, sealed with his tughra (imperial seal), carrying the absolute authority of the empire. As a name, it carries the aspiration of command and authority.
Ferman carries the Ottoman sultan's imperial decree in a personal name — the word for absolute royal command, suggesting someone whose word is law, whose decisions carry the weight of the imperial tradition, someone of natural authority and commanding presence.
