Quran 56:8. Arabic: Uthmani text (Tanzil). English: Sahih International.
Say it may-MOO-nah. The capital letters show the stressed part. In English it is also spelled Maimuna and Maimoona. In Arabic it is written with 6 letters, from right to left: م mim + ي ya + م mim + و waw + ن nun + ة ta marbuta.
Maymunah is a name with a good meaning, which is what the Sunnah asks for. The Prophet ﷺ said: "The most beloved of your names to Allah are Abdullah and Abdur-Rahman",3 and after these, any name with a good meaning is a sound choice. With the father's name it becomes Maymunah bint (and the father's name): see what bin, bint and abu mean.
