Umaima

Meaning of Umaima

The name Umaima glides onto the tongue like a jasmine-scented breeze, whispering “little mother” in Arabic with heartfelt tenderness. It honors Umaimah bint ʿAbd al-Muttalib, the Prophet’s spirited aunt whose generosity sparkled brighter than desert stars. In India, Umaima twirls through Diwali nights like a lantern floating on monsoon breezes, wrapped in sandalwood warmth and kumkum hues. Though only about eight tiny Umaimas arrive in the United States each year—landing the name near the 950th rank—this quiet rarity is its secret charm. With a nurturing melody woven into every syllable and a mischievous spirit that giggles at tradition, Umaima promises a lifetime of laughter, guidance, and unbreakable bonds. For parents seeking a name as rare as a midnight mango in Mumbai, Umaima shines with a playful wink.
