Meynah is Arabic, Persian in Origin.
Meynah is a modern, anglicized spelling linked to the South Asian name Maina/Mynah (Hindi/Urdu mainā). The word denotes the myna bird, prized for its clear, melodious voice; in poetry and folk speech it serves as a tender endearment for a beloved girl. As a given name it carries the sense of charm, eloquence, and affection, and is typically pronounced MAY-nuh.
Because its sound overlaps with Mina/Meina, Meynah can also be read alongside pan-cultural diminutives of Wilhelmina, Jasmina, or Amina, and with South Asian Meena/Mina (Persian "enamel/azure"; Sanskrit "fish"). Maina appears in North Indian and Nepali songs and naming traditions, while the Meynah spelling is a recent English-language choice that preserves the same soft cadence. Variants and related forms include Maina, Mynah, Myna, Mayna, Meyna, Meina, Mina, and Meena; nicknames May, Mimi, or Nina. Overall meaning: "myna (songbird), sweetness of voice."
Meynah is about as rare as a name gets. In all, it appears just 2 times, across 1 country.
