Name meaning and origin
Maymuna is formed from the root yumn (blessing, good fortune) in the Arabic language and means a blessed, fortunate woman who brings happiness. The same root is also related to the word yəmin (oath) and the name of the country Yemen, since all three converge around the notions of good fortune and the right hand.
The name's historical bearer is Maymuna bint Haris, the last wife of our Prophet (peace be upon him); her real name was Barra, but the Prophet (peace be upon him) gave her the name Maymuna, meaning blessing, after the marriage. She narrated seventy-six hadiths from the Prophet, and in Azerbaijan today it is among the girl names chosen with a wish of abundance.
