We publish a meaning only with a cited source and a confidence label, and never generate one. Meanings are being researched for the most common names first.
Wikidata records this spelling as a given name in Arabic and Dutch. That is where the name is used, not necessarily where it comes from.
Rare spellings summarised here: Amena (1,081), Aaminah (532), Amine (486), Amana (442), Aamina (437), Armina (333), Aminta (280), Amenah (204), Amanah (106), Ahmina (102), Amyna (57), Ameina (38), and more.
Numbers are all-time US births. Links come from Wikidata’s “said to be the same as” (P460, CC0) and our spelling rule: at most two letters different, with the same sound pattern.
