Aamna

Girl name · 3 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Aamna: 3 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 3 births in 2008.

Aamna is a variant of the Arabic name Amina, meaning “trustworthy” or “safe,” and carries a gentle strength that has made it a cherished choice across many cultures, including within Scotland’s diverse naming landscape. One notable bearer is the Indian television actress Aamna Sharif, known for her leading roles in popular Hindi serials. While no direct place connections are recorded, the name shares its root with Amina, the mother of the Prophet Muhammad, lending it deep spiritual resonance. A common variant is Amna, which is particularly widespread in South Asian and Muslim communities, and the name has seen steady, modest use in Scotland since the late 20th century, reflecting its enduring, cross-cultural appeal.
