Origin:German
Meaning:Will helmet or protection
Stemming from German origins, Minna is a girl's name with lots of sweet charm. It may come from the Old High German minna, meaning “love” or “loving remembrance.” It is also a diminutive of Wilhelmina, meaning "will helmet" or "resolute protection." Much like Elma, Minna is a modern take on a 19th-century classic and is a lovely way to inspire your child to protect others. As they develop and grow, baby Minna may use their kind nature to look out for and defend their peers in challenging times.
