What is the meaning of the name Amna ?

The baby name Amna is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced AM-nah (IPA: /ˈæm.nə/).

Amna is Arabic in Origin.

Amna is an Arabic feminine name derived from the triliteral root ʾ‑m‑n, which conveys safety, peace, and trust. In classical Arabic two closely related forms exist: Āmina (آمنة), “safe, secure,” and Amīna (أمينة), “honest, trustworthy.” The South Asian spelling Amna commonly reflects Āmina, though everyday usage often blends the meanings. It is the feminine counterpart of Amin.

The name has been esteemed since Āmina bint Wahb, the mother of the Prophet Muhammad, cemented its early use in Arabia. Through Islamic and trade networks it spread widely, remaining popular from the Middle East and the Horn of Africa to South and Southeast Asia and the global diaspora. Regional variants include Amina, Aminah, Ameena, Aamna/Amnah, Turkish Emine, and Bosnian Emina; West African Aminata reflects French influence. Amna‑type forms rank highly in Pakistan and the Gulf. The name’s core sense evokes serenity, reliability, and moral integrity.
