Usman (sometimes spelled as Osman) is the South Asian form of the Muslim given name Othman. In Urdu/Hindi languages , spoken in India and Pakistan, "th" is sometimes pronounced as "s" , leading to a new form of the same name.
Since Usman or Othman was the name of Muslim Ruler (Caliph) Uthman Ibn Affan, therefore it is a very popular given name among Muslims.
The Turkish Ottoman Empire also derived its name from its predecessor of this name.
The name Usman typically means "The Chosen One" . In Arabic it is also sometimes used to refer to a bird however the widespread meaning of the name is "The Chosen One".
In addition to that , since the Muslim Caliph Uthman was known for his generosity , in some cultures the name Usman is synonymous with generosity, sincerity and purity of heart.

Get the usana mug.A udant is a familiar term for a friend or someone of relative proximity. It is used in frustration and in a strained tone. The frustration though is not genuine, it is something that the person doesnt actually really mind about but is pretending that they do, hence the strained voice.
Tom is in the library trying to work. Walter is next to him and putting him off his work, wasting time on sites like the urban dictionary. Tom is clearly not minding being put off as it means he doesnt have to work, but might say the term udant in a strained tone to express frustration, but not actually.
