What is the meaning of the name Tahmina ?

The baby name Tahmina is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced tah-MEE-nah (IPA: /tæhˈmiːnə/).

Tahmina is Persian in Origin.

Tahmina is a Persian feminine name (Persian: تهمینه) formed from Middle Persian tahm “brave, strong” plus the feminine suffix -īneh. It conveys meanings such as “valiant woman,” “courageous,” or “strong-hearted,” and belongs to a family of Iranian names built on the tahm- root.

Its cultural prominence comes from Ferdowsi’s Shahnameh, where Princess Tahmineh of Samangan secretly unites with the hero Rostam and later bears Sohrab; this episode fixed the name in Persian literary memory. The name spread across the Persianate world and remains in use in Iran, Afghanistan, and Tajikistan, and - through Islamic-Persian influence - among Urdu- and Bengali-speaking communities in South Asia. Common variants and transliterations include Tahmineh, Tahmine, Tahmina (Tajik, South Asian), Takhmina (Russian-influenced), Təhminə/Tehmine (Azerbaijani, Turkish), and the simplified Tamina. Mina sometimes appears as a familiar short form.
