Meaning & origin
Aamina is a variant spelling of Amina, the name of the mother of the Prophet Muhammad, which has been used for centuries across the Muslim world. In the United States, it first appeared on the Social Security Administration's records in 1984 and has remained steadily in use, peaking in 2025 at rank 5,554.

Aamina is a variant spelling of Amina, the feminine form of the Arabic name Amin, which derives from the root '-m-n' meaning 'to be safe, secure, or trustworthy'. The name is borne by Amina bint Wahb, the mother of the Prophet Muhammad, giving it deep historical and religious significance in Islamic tradition. It has been used across the Arabic-speaking world and among Muslim communities globally.
