Amnah is a rare girl's name of Arabic origin, first recorded in U.S. Social Security data in 1984.

In 2020, it ranked 13,208th nationally, with approximately 1 in 267,878 newborn girls given the name, a figure that reflects its rarity. Its peak popularity occurred in 2016, a point from which it has remained relatively steady. The name has not been strongly associated with any particular U.S. state and remains a distinctive choice within the broader landscape of Arabic-origin names in America.
Amnah is a name of debated origin. It may derive from the Arabic root 'amn' (safety, peace), or be a shortened variant of Amina (trustworthy). The name has been used in the Arab world, particularly among Muslim families, though it is not among the most common names. Its usage in the United States began in the late 20th century.
