Origin
Meaning and history of Aamani
The name Aamani is believed to have its origins in the Arabic language. The earliest known record of this name dates back to the 7th century AD, during the time of the Islamic Golden Age. It is derived from the Arabic word "amaan," which means peace, security, or safety.
In Islamic culture, names often carry deep religious and spiritual significance. The name Aamani is thought to have been given to children with the hope that they would live a peaceful and secure life, protected from harm and turmoil. It may also have been used to express gratitude for the gift of peace and security bestowed upon the family or community.
One of the earliest recorded individuals with the name Aamani was Aamani ibn Abi Layla, a renowned Islamic scholar and jurist who lived in the 8th century AD. He was known for his expertise in Islamic jurisprudence and his contributions to the development of Sharia law.
Another notable figure with this name was Aamani al-Qurtubi, a 12th-century Islamic philosopher and theologian from Cordoba, Spain. He was widely respected for his writings on ethics, metaphysics, and the interpretation of the Quran.
In the 13th century, Aamani ibn Ismail al-Baghdadi was a prominent Arab mathematician and astronomer who made significant contributions to the field of algebra and the study of celestial bodies.
During the Ottoman Empire, the name Aamani was borne by Aamani Mehmed Pasha, a 16th-century statesman and military commander who served as the Grand Vizier, the highest-ranking political office in the empire.
In more recent history, Aamani al-Mubarak was a 20th-century Kuwaiti poet and writer known for his works celebrating Arabic culture and promoting unity among Arab nations.

FAQ
Aamani: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Aamani?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 231 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Aamani going back to 1880 and adjusting each cohort for expected survival using CDC actuarial life tables. The result is an age-weighted living-bearer count, not a raw birth total. That works out to about 1 in 1,483,785 US residents.
Is Aamani a common name?
We classify Aamani as "Very Rare". It ranks above 76.1% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 233 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Aamani most popular?
The single biggest year for Aamani was 2016, when 23 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Aamani is about 13 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
What does the SSA popularity chart show?
The chart tracks births, not the number of people alive with the name today. Each point shows how many babies were given the name Aamani in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Aamani a female name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Aamani in the SSA data are female. You can see the full per-sex comparison in the gender distribution section above, which includes the latest year rank, birth count, and peak year for each sex.
Is Aamani still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Aamani in 2024, and the page above shows its latest-year rank where available. A name can be well past its peak and still remain in steady use, especially if it built up a large population over earlier decades.
Why can a name have a lot of living bearers even if it is not trendy now?
Because living-bearer counts and current baby-name popularity measure different things. A name like Aamani can build up a very large population over many decades, even if fewer parents are choosing it now than they did at its peak.
Where does this data come from?
First-name figures come from the Social Security Administration's national baby name files, which cover every name on a birth certificate from 1880 to 2024. Living-bearer estimates layer in CDC actuarial life tables broken out by sex to account for mortality. The population baseline (342,754,338) is the Census Bureau's latest national estimate. You can read the full calculation on our methodology page.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only covers names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files do not have a published Census demographic snapshot. In those cases, the page still shows the SSA trend, gender history, and state data.
