Meaning and origin of Ameen
Ameen is an Arabic name that means “trustworthy, faithful”.
Ameen is a spelling of Amin, an Arabic name meaning "trustworthy" or "faithful," from the root a-m-n, "to be safe, to trust." Al-Amin, "the trustworthy," was an epithet given to the Prophet Muhammad before his prophethood. The word is also related to amen, the closing word of prayers in Judaism, Christianity and Islam. It is said ah-MEEN. Amin and Amine are related spellings, and the feminine form is Amina. Its meaning, tied to honesty and reliability, makes it a popular choice in Muslim families.
