Almina

Meaning of Almina

Almina unfolds like a turquoise tile salvaged from an ancient Persian mosaic, uniting dual roots in the Arabic Aminah (“trustworthy”) and the Persian mina (“enamel,” “azure”). Its pronunciation shifts subtly from Turkish ahl-MEE-nah to English al-MEE-nuh, preserving a poised elegance across cultures. In the United States, Almina has quietly hovered in the Social Security Administration’s top 1,000 since the early 2010s—peaking at rank 933 in 2013 and most recently placing 944 in 2024 with just six births—proof of its steady if unassuming appeal. It has never graced celebrity birth announcements, but then Almina seldom craves the spotlight; it offers families a name that is both lyrically rich and analytically resonant, a blend of heritage and gentle modernity.
