What is the meaning of the name Binti ?

The baby name Binti is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced BIN-tee (IPA: /ˈbɪn.ti/).

Binti is Swahili in Origin.

Binti is a feminine given name of Swahili and broader Afro-Arabic heritage, from Arabic bint ‘daughter.’ In Swahili, binti means ‘daughter’ or ‘young woman’ and also functions as a respectful form of address similar to Miss. The term traces to the Semitic root b-n-t, cognate with Hebrew bat ‘daughter,’ giving the name a clear, familial meaning centered on lineage and girlhood.

Across regions the word has been both a title and a name. In Arabic naming it appears as a relational marker - Fatima bint Muhammad - rather than as a standalone given name. Along the East African coast it entered given-name use, and in Malay/Indonesian legal names binti denotes ‘daughter of’ for women. Related forms and adaptations include Bint, Binta (common in Fula, Wolof, and Mandinka), Bintu, and the Francophone Bintou. Usage conveys respect, ancestry, and feminine identity.
