Meaning & origin
Amna is a serene Arabic name that has been in use in the United States since at least 1910, reflecting early immigrant communities. Its popularity has been rising steadily since 1986, and it reached its peak rank in 2016. The name is particularly favored in states with large Muslim populations, including Illinois, New York, and Texas. With its gentle meaning and strong cultural resonance, Amna remains a steady if uncommon choice for families seeking a name with deep roots in Islamic tradition.
Amna is a feminine Arabic name derived from the root 'amn', meaning safety, security, or peace. It is closely related to the name Amina, the mother of the Prophet Muhammad, which shares the same root. The name has been used across the Muslim world for centuries and remains popular in many Arabic-speaking and South Asian countries.
