What People Usually Mean by This Name
The trustworthy, the secure, the safe. Turkish form of Aminah (آمِنَة), from the root أ-م-ن (amana, to be trustworthy, to give trust, to be safe). Aminah is the active feminine form: 'the woman of trust', 'the one who is at peace'. The same root gives Iman (faith) and the divine name al-Mu'min (the Granter of Security).
The name belongs above all to Aminah bint Wahb (RA), the mother of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. She was of the Banu Zuhra, married to Abdullah ibn Abd al-Muttalib of the Banu Hashim. She gave birth to the Prophet ﷺ in Mecca in the Year of the Elephant (570 CE) and died when he was about six years old, on the way back from visiting her late husband's grave at Yathrib (later Madinah). The Prophet ﷺ visited her grave in his lifetime and wept beside it. He spoke of her with love and longing.
