Amanah is Arabic in Origin.

Amanah is a feminine given name of Arabic origin, from the root ʾ‑m‑n and the noun amānah (أمانة), meaning “trust,” “custody,” and the moral quality of trustworthiness. In Islamic thought it denotes the responsibility entrusted by God and between people, a concept famously referenced in the Qur’an (33:72). As a personal name it conveys integrity, fidelity, and reliability. It is used among Arabic speakers and widely in Malay- and Indonesian-speaking Muslim communities, where amanah is also a common ethical term.

Documented as a modern given name rather than an early classical one, Amanah has gained visibility in Southeast Asia and the diaspora. Variant renderings include Amānah (with diacritics), Amaanah (to mark the long ‘ā’), and Amana. Related but distinct names from the same root are Amina/Aminah/Ameena (“trustworthy”) for girls and Aman/Amanat for boys (the latter meaning “deposit, trust” in Persian-Urdu usage). Nicknames may include Mana or Nana.
