Uthman (Arabic: عُثمَان, romanized: Usmân), also spelled Othman, is a male Arabic given name with the general meaning of "wise, most powerful, intuitive". 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.

Originally the name often occurred as a nasab or patronymic in the names of children of people called Uthman, as in ibn Uthman "Son of Uthman" or bint Uthman "Daughter of Uthman". From there, it also developed into a surname.
