Girl name · 7 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Aamina: 7 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 4 births in 2008.

From Arabic roots, Aamina means "safe, secure, or protected," carrying a sense of peace and trustworthiness. It shares its core with Amina, the mother of the Prophet Muhammad, giving it profound spiritual resonance in Islamic tradition. While not widely borne by famous public figures in Scotland, the name is closely linked to Aaminah, a variant found across many cultures. Linguistically, it also connects to the Arabic word "amin," meaning "faithful" or "trustworthy," which appears in related names like Ameen. In Scotland, Aamina remains a distinctive, melodic choice, offering a gentle yet strong meaning that has been used by families appreciating its international heritage and soft, lilting sound.
