What is the meaning of the name Emine ?

The baby name Emine is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced IPA: /eˈmine/ — respelling: eh-MEE-neh.

Emine is Turkish in Origin.

Emine is the Turkish feminine form of the Arabic name Amina, derived from the root amn “security, trust.” It carries the meanings “trustworthy,” “faithful,” and “safe.” In Turkish it is pronounced eh-MEE-neh and has been widely used since the Ottoman era, spreading into the Balkans and Caucasus through cultural ties and among many Muslim communities. The masculine counterpart in Turkish is Emin, sharing the same semantic field of reliability and assurance.

The name’s cultural esteem traces to its Arabic antecedent: Amina bint Wahb, mother of the Prophet Muhammad, which helped anchor the name’s association with virtue and protection. Emine appears in Ottoman court circles and modern Turkish literature, and remains popular in Turkey and the diaspora. Variants and cognates include Amina, Aminah, Ameena, Ameenah, Amineh (Persian), and the South Slavic Emina, celebrated in Aleksa Šantić’s beloved Bosnian poem “Emina.”
