Amina
Biography
Amina (or Aminah) is the loose transcription of two different Arabic female given names: ʾĀmina (Arabic: آمنة, also anglicized as Aaminah or Amna) meaning "safe one, protected" ʾAmīna (Arabic: أمينة, also anglicized as Ameena), the feminine form of Amin, meaning "devoted, honest, straightforward, trusty, worth of belief (believable), loyal, faithful, obedient of Iman". The name is highly popular in Nigeria owing to Amina of Zazzau, a legendary Hausa warrior queen. Likewise in the neighbouring Cameroon and Niger. Its popularity across Asia and North Africa owes to Amina bint Wahb, the mother of Prophet Muhammad. In French-speaking West Africa, the name is rendered as Aminata and is as well popular.
