What is the meaning of the name Amen ?

The baby name Amen is a boy name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced ah-MEN.

Amen is Arabic, Hebrew in Origin.

Amen is from Biblical Hebrew אָמֵן, ʾāmēn, the earliest securely attested form, appearing in the Hebrew Bible as a response of assent. It belongs to the Semitic root ʾ-m-n, with senses of firmness, reliability, and faithfulness; as an adverbial or interjectional form it conveys truly, confirmed, or so be it.

Jewish liturgy uses amen after blessings and doxologies, a practice adopted into early Christian Greek as ἀμήν and then Latin and English. The Arabic prayer response āmīn reflects the same Semitic-liturgical word. As a given name, Amen is rare and modern in English-speaking records, registered for boys and girls but somewhat more often for boys in recent U.S. data; spellings such as Ameen and Amine overlap with Arabic naming.
