Yes the god Aryaman is present in Post-Vedic texts like puranas also.

The Brahma Purana lists him in twelve Adityas and describe the sun in the form of Wind as Aryama -

As Aryama he is the wind.

In each month of the year its is different Aditya ( sun who shines.)

Aryama in Vaishakha.


Its said in Bhagvat Purana that in Hiraṇmaya-varṣa Aryama worships Lord vishnu along with other residents.

हिरण्मयेऽपि भगवान्निवसति कूर्मतनुं बिभ्राणस्तस्य तत्प्रियतमां |
तनुमर्यमा सह वर्षपुरुषैः पितृगणाधिपतिरुपधावति मन्त्रमिमं चानुजपति || 5.18.29||<br.

hiraṇmaye ’pi bhagavān nivasati kūrma-tanuṁ bibhrāṇas tasya tat priyatamāṁ
tanum aryamā saha varṣa-puruṣaiḥ pitṛ-gaṇādhipatir upadhāvati mantram imaṁ cānujapati.

Śukadeva Gosvāmī continued: In Hiraṇmaya-varṣa, the Supreme Lord, Viṣṇu, lives in the form of a tortoise [kūrma-śarīra]. This most dear and beautiful form is always worshiped there in devotional service by Aryamā, the chief resident of Hiraṇmaya-varṣa, along with the other inhabitants of that land. They chant the following hymns.SB 5.18.29

It also said in the same Purana that Aryama is predominating deity of that planet Pitṛloka

वत्सेन पितरोऽर्यम्णा कव्यं क्षीरमधुक्षत ।
आमपात्रे महाभागाः श्रद्धया श्राद्धदेवताः ॥14.18. 8॥

vatsena pitaro 'ryamṇā kavyaḿ kṣīram adhukṣata
āma-pātre mahā-bhāgāḥ śraddhayā śrāddha-devatāḥ

The fortunate inhabitants of Pitrloka, who preside over the funeral ceremonies, made Aryama into a calf. With great faith they milked kavya, food offered to the ancestors, into an unbaked earthen pot.

Footnote - Those who are interested in family welfare are called pitṛ-vratāḥ. There is a planet called Pitṛloka, and the predominating deity of that planet is called Aryamā.SB 4.18.18
