Binta

Meaning of Binta

In the warm echo of Arabic heritage—where “bint” means “daughter”—Binta arrives like a whispered promise carried on desert breezes and sung by palm trees, a name that weaves together lineage and light. It first graced U.S. birth records in the early 1970s and, though it remains beautifully rare (just 18 little Bintas in 2024, ranked 932nd), it has lingered in the top thousand as steadily as a heartbeat. In West Africa, where Fulani griots still celebrate ancestors under starlit skies, Binta evokes grace and belonging, while in a Latin jardín, it might unfurl like jazmín at dawn, infusing cada alma with esperanza. Pronounced BIN-tah (/ˈbɪntə/), this name carries a gentle melody—part history, part hope—that invites every newborn to step confidently into her own story.
