Amena

Naming baby is the perfect opportunity to show some love for your Arabic-speaking heritage. Among its many bounties, this gorgeous language offers the girl's name Amena, meaning "honest" and "faithful," as well as “safe” and “secure.” With such a namesake, brushing teeth before school is a given, homework will never be not-so-mysteriously lost, and baby will always feel safe with you. It's also neither rare nor common, so it'll give baby an edge over its wildly popular variants, Amina and Aminah. Alternatively, Amena could have Japanese roots, where it means anything from “rain” or “greens” to “sprout,” depending on the kanji used to write the name. As you can see, there is plenty to love about this choice!
