Bintu
Meaning of Bintu
Bintu is a feminine given name of Arabic derivation—etymologically anchored in the root bint, signifying “daughter”—and is predominantly attested among West African Muslim communities, where it appears both as a standalone personal name and as a constituent in patronymic or honorific formations. In the United States, Social Security Administration records trace its usage back to the mid-1990s, with annual occurrences consistently between five and eight and corresponding national ranks spanning 840 to 982, a pattern that underscores its niche yet persistent presence in the onomastic landscape. Pronounced BIN-too (/bɪnˈtu/), the name conveys notions of filial affiliation and cultural continuity, and its succinct, phonemically transparent structure aligns with Anglo-American preferences for names that combine etymological depth with technical precision.
