About the name Mina
Mina belongs to the Muslim & Arabic tradition. Its roots are documented, even though its precise meaning is not recorded in the standard references — an honest gap we prefer to a confident guess.
In the United States, Mina first appears in Social Security records in 1880. It climbed to its best-ever rank of #175 in 1880, and in 2024 493 babies received the name — 18,772 in total since 1880. Those are the official counts, not estimates.
