Nigerian actress, Mercy Aigbe-Adeoti has taken to social media to explain the meaning of her Muslim name, ‘Minnah’, in reaction to conflicting reactions to it.
Mercy Aigbe took to Instagram hours ago to drop a message for her Muslim fans who seem torn about her name.
The actress and wife to marketer, Kazim Adeoti stated that Minnah is a name suggested by her husband and it means Mercy of Gift from Allah.
Suggesting they make their research, the newly converted mother of two asked Muslims to name their daughters after her because it’s a unique name.

So I saw a lot of comments regarding my name MINNAH that cracked me up so bad.
Some comments were just so hilarious Yes! Minnah is a beautiful, Islamic name and it means Mercy ….Gift from Allah ( google to confirm)Ramadan MubarakI 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.
Iunderstand 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, l’I recommend MINNAH and make sure you invite me to the naming.”
