eminah is Arabic in Origin.
Eminah is a modern, Anglicized spelling of the Arabic feminine name Aminah/Amīna and Āmina, all built on the Semitic root ʾ‑m‑n meaning faith, trust, and security. As a result, the name carries the senses “trustworthy, faithful” and “safe, at peace.” The E‑ initial echoes Turkish Emine and Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian Emina, forms that entered Southeast Europe through Ottoman influence.
Used across the Islamic world since early Islam, the name is closely associated with Āmina bint Wahb, mother of the Prophet Muhammad, and with the famed Hausa ruler Queen Amina of Zazzau (often rendered Amina). It remains common from North Africa to South Asia and in diaspora communities. Variants and spellings include Aminah, Amina, Ameena, Ameenah, Aaminah, Amna, Amnah, Emine, and Emina; Mina appears as a short form.
