The baby name Ameneh is a Female name and is pronounced ah-MEH-neh (IPA: /ɒːˈmene/).
Ameneh is Persian in Origin.
Ameneh is a Persian form of the Arabic name Aminah/Amina, derived from the Semitic root ʔ‑m‑n that denotes safety, trust, and faith. It is written آمنه in Persian and conveys meanings such as trustworthy, honest, secure, and at peace. The -eh ending reflects Persian phonology, and spellings like Amineh or Aameneh are also seen in transliteration.
The name has deep cultural resonance across the Islamic world thanks to Amina bint Wahb, the mother of the Prophet Muhammad, which helped sustain its use through centuries from Arabia to Iran and Central and South Asia. Regional variants include Amina/Aminah (Arabic), Ameena/Amena (South Asian English forms), Emine (Turkish), and Emina (Bosnian). In West and North Africa Amina is widespread, famously borne by Queen Amina of Zazzau. Related Persian and Urdu forms include Amna/Amnah. Diminutives such as Mina and Ami are sometimes used. Today Ameneh feels traditional yet gentle, carrying a virtue meaning.
