The amin Surname
amin Name Meaning and History
Muslim and Indian (northern states): from an Arabic personal name
based on amin ‘trustworthy’, ‘faithful’, ‘honest’.
Al-Amin ‘the trustworthy’ is an honorific title of the
Prophet Muhammad. The term is used in combination with other words to
form compound names: for example, Ru?h-ul-Amin ‘faithful
spirit’ is an epithet of the Angel Gabriel mentioned in the Qur’an
(26:193). Al-Amin (787–813) was the name of the sixth Abbasid
khalif of Baghdad. In India, the name came to be used as a term
denoting a government official concerned with investigation of land
claims and revenue claims, collection of revenue, and land
surveying.
