What is the meaning of the name Amin ?

Amin is Arabic in Origin.

Amin is an Arabic masculine name (أمين, ʾAmīn) from the root ʾ‑m‑n, denoting safety and trust; it means “trustworthy,” “honest,” or “keeper of a trust.” In Mecca the Prophet Muhammad was widely called al-Amīn, “the Trustworthy,” a usage that helped anchor the name in Muslim societies. It appears in early Islamic records, including the Abbasid caliph al-Amīn (r. 809–813), and later entered Persian and Ottoman naming, sometimes also functioning as a title meaning “trustee.”

Variants and regional forms include Ameen and Amīn; Amine in Francophone North Africa; Emin in Turkish and Bosnian; Aminu in Hausa; and Amien in Indonesia and Malaysia. The feminine counterparts are Amina/Aminah/Ameena. Used across the Middle East, South Asia, and Africa, Amin conveys reliability and moral steadiness, making it a perennial favorite in Arabic, Persian, Urdu, and other Muslim-majority languages.
