The term is used in combination with other words to form compound names: for example, Ruḥ-ul-Amīn ‘faithful spirit’ is an epithet of the Angel Gabriel mentioned in the Koran (26:193). In India, the name came to be used as a term denoting a government official concerned with investigation of land claims and revenue claims, collection of revenue, and land surveying. Bearers of the Arabic surname are both Muslims and Christians. Compare Ameen , Amen , Amine .
History: Al-Amīn (787–813) was the name of the sixth Abbasid caliph of Baghdad.
