Meaning & origin
Amine, a variant of the Arabic name Amin, has been in use in the United States since at least 1981, when it first appeared in Social Security records. It reached its peak rank of 8,910 in 2014, but its trajectory has been falling since 2008, reflecting a broader decline in some Arabic-origin names. In 2025, approximately 1 in 213,510 male newborns received the name, placing it among rarer choices. The name has not shown a strong regional concentration within the U.S., with no top states recorded. Despite its low ranking, Amine carries weight through its connection to the Arabic root for trustworthiness and its historic use as a descriptive title for the Prophet Muhammad. It remains a name of substance for families seeking a culturally significant yet distinctive option.
Amine is a variant of the Arabic name Amin, derived from the consonant root ʼ-m-n, which conveys trust and security. The name appears in Islamic tradition as a description of the Prophet Muhammad, known as al-Amin 'the trustworthy.' It has been used widely across Arabic-speaking and Muslim-majority countries, and in North Africa it is also a common given name.
