Amin
Means "faithful" one
Amin is an Arabic name meaning "trustworthy" or "faithful," used across Muslim cultures for both given names and surnames.
The name gained notoriety in the West through Idi Amin, the Ugandan dictator whose brutal regime in the 1970s made his surname synonymous with African despotism: He's a tin-pot Amin.
