What is the meaning of the name Imna ?

Imna is in Origin.

Imna is a rare given name whose clearest root lies in Hebrew scripture, where it appears as Imnah (also spelled Jimnah or Yimnah), a descendant of the tribe of Asher. The Hebrew form ימנה (Yimnah) is linked to the root y-m-n, associated with the “right hand” or “south,” ideas that in Semitic thought carry senses of favor, skill, and good fortune. Accordingly, Imna is often interpreted as “right‑handed,” “fortunate,” or more broadly “prosperity.”

As a modern name, Imna is used only sporadically and can be found for any gender, valued for its concise, global sound. In Arabic‑speaking settings, it is sometimes adopted alongside names like Iman and Amina; however, those have distinct etymologies (“faith” and “trustworthy”). Attested variants include Imnah, Jimnah, and Yimnah; possible nicknames include Im, Imi, or Mina.
