Tahmina

Persian, "brave, valiant"

Familiar in Bangladesh, Tajikistan, the UK, and Afghanistan, Tahmina is an elegant and spirited Persian name with a courageous meaning. It appears in the 10th-century Persian epic, the Shahnameh, in which it is borne by a princess, lending it both history and sophistication.

A Top 1000 choice in England and Wales in the late 90s, possibly owing to the release of a film of the same name, it’s currently rare, though its sounds are familiar, thanks to internationally used choices such as Tasnim, Amina, and Tahlia.
