Minah
Meaning of Minah
Minah is a feminine given name of Korean origin (민아), pronounced mee-NAH (/miˈnɑ/) whose exact meaning depends on the hanja chosen—common pairings unite characters for “quick” or “clever” with those for “elegance” or “beauty,” a subtle nod to intellect and grace akin to scanning an overly elaborate hanja menu. Beyond Korea, Minah evokes the Persian Mīnā, conjuring the azure depths of lapis lazuli or the delicate enamel work that adorns traditional vessels, lending the name a cross-cultural resonance. In the United States, Minah has maintained a modest yet steady presence over the past twenty years, rising to rank 934 in 2024 with 16 recorded births—a nuanced ascent that suggests both novelty and quiet appeal. Its balanced phonetic form, with emphasis on the second syllable, delivers a poised rhythm in keeping with semi-formal elegance, while its adaptable meanings invite families to impart their own personalized significance.
