Amahni is English in Origin.

Amahni (ah-MAH-nee) is a modern English respelling of Amani, a name with dual roots: in Swahili it means "peace," ultimately from Arabic aman "safety, protection"; in Arabic, Amani is the plural of umniyya, "wish, aspiration." The inserted h is a stylistic vowel marker in American naming and does not alter pronunciation or sense.

As a given name, Amani has long been used across East Africa and the Arabic-speaking world; the Amahni spelling emerged in the United States in the late 20th century, especially within African American communities and among parents seeking pan-African or Muslim-friendly choices. It is broadly unisex but leans feminine in U.S. data. Variant spellings include Amani, Ahmani, Amoni, Amanie, and Amanni; short forms such as Mani or Ami are common. Related names include Imani ("faith") and Salama ("peaceful"), though with distinct meanings.
