Popular Nollywood actress, Mercy Aigbe has revealed the powerful meaning of her new and unique Muslim name ‘Hajia Minnah’.
The thespian, who recently converted to Islam months after marrying her Muslim husband, filmmaker Kazim Adeoti, explained the meaning of her name on her Instagram page.

In response, the 45-year-old actress revealed that her name is Minnah, which means “mercy and gift from Allah.” She also revealed that the name was suggested to her by her husband, and she loved it!

She also encouraged Muslim parents to name their female children ‘Minnah’, because it’s a sweet and unique name.
The mother of two wrote,
“I saw a lot of comments from some Muslims saying it’s Aminat, some said it’s ‘meenah’ and mennah is not a Muslim name etc 😂 so it is not Aminat, neither is it meenah… The correct name is MINNAH 😁
I understand it’s not a common name so a lot of people aren’t used to it, it’s a powerful, sweet, unique name that’s why when hubby suggested it, I loved it 😍
If you are a Muslim and searching for a unique baby girl’s name for your princess, I’ll recommend MINNAH and make sure you invite me to the naming 😁😄❤️❤️”
