What People Usually Mean by This Name
From the Arabic root م-ن-ي (to wish, to hope, to long for), Umniyya is the classical singular of amani (hopes, aspirations). It is the wish held so quietly that its holder half-forgets she is holding it.
The Quran uses the plural amani for the false hopes people cling to without foundation (Al-Baqarah 111), and by contrast the sincere umniyya of the believer is the hope grounded in trust of Allah. It is the prayer that has not yet been spoken aloud.
Umniyya is a classical Arabic girls' name. It marks the daughter as the wish a family had been carrying long before she arrived.
