Carminah is Latin, Spanish in Origin.

Carminah is a modern elaboration of Carmina, shaped by the fashionable -ah ending. Carmina itself draws on two intertwined streams: Latin carmen, “song, poem” (with carmina as its plural), and the Spanish-Italian devotional family of names from Our Lady of Mount Carmel, ultimately from Hebrew Karmel, “fruitful orchard, vineyard.” Through these paths, Carminah carries resonances of music and a flourishing garden.

Traditionally, Carmina has been used in Italy, Spain, Latin America, and the Philippines, with occasional English-language use; Carminah, however, remains rare and chiefly contemporary. Related forms and variants include Carmina, Carmen, Carmela, Carmella, Carmelina, Carmine (m.), Karmen, Karmina, and Portuguese Carmo; short forms such as Mina, Mimi, and Carmi occur. Cultural notes range from the medieval Latin phrase Carmina Burana to modern public figures like Filipina actress Carmina Villarroel. Meanings commonly given for Carminah: “song,” “poem,” or “vineyard, garden.”
