Meaning & origin
Amanah first entered U.S. birth records in 2016 and has been steadily rising, reaching its peak rank of 6,116 in 2025, where it also recorded its highest usage to date. With a 1-in-84,593 incidence in the latest year, it remains a rare but growing choice. The name's trajectory shows increasing adoption, particularly among families seeking a name with a clear moral and spiritual meaning rooted in Arabic. Though no top states have yet emerged, its rise reflects broader trends toward meaningful, culturally rich names.
Amanah is derived from the Arabic root 'a-m-n' (أمن), which conveys safety, trust, and faith. The word appears in the Quran as a moral and spiritual concept, and it has been used as a given name in Muslim communities, particularly in South Asia and the Middle East. Its use in English-speaking countries is relatively recent, reflecting growing interest in Arabic-origin names.
