Amintey is in Origin.

Amintey is a rare Ghanaian name rooted in the Ga-Dangme onomastic tradition, found as both a surname and a given name. The -tey/-tei ending is common in Ga male names (compare Amartey, Mantey, Nartey), and spellings often fluctuate between -tey and -tei. Documented use concentrates in the 20th–21st centuries in Greater Accra and among the Ghanaian diaspora, with contemporary, occasionally unisex, given-name adoption.

Its precise etymology is unsettled. One view treats Amintey as a compound of Amin (from Arabic, “trustworthy; faithful,” widely adopted in West Africa) with the Ga personal-name element Tei, yielding a popular reading like “faithful Tei/trustworthy one.” Another treats it as an orthographic cousin within the Ga -tey set (e.g., Amartey, Mantey) without distinct semantics. Variants and related forms include Amintei, Amintay, and the cognate Ga names Amartey, Mantey, Nartey, Nortey, and Tei. Predominantly masculine in Ga usage, though modern use may be flexible.
