Etymology
أَمان comes from the Semitic root ʔ-m-n, which carries the sense of being secure, firm, and trustworthy. The same root gives Arabic أَمْن (security), إيمان (faith), and أَمين (trustworthy). The root is shared across Semitic languages, including Hebrew, where it underlies words for faith and the word amen.
