The name Lamine is a given name and surname, derived from the Arabic title Al-Amin, which means "the Trustworthy" and was famously given to Prophet Muhammad. This name is widely borne by notable individuals across diverse professions, particularly in West and North Africa.

Among the most historically significant figures are Muhammad VIII al-Amin (1881–1962), who was the last Bey of Tunisia, and Liamine Zéroual (born 1941), the fourth President of Algeria. The name is also prominently associated with athletes, including numerous footballers like young Spanish talent Lamine Yamal (born 2007) and the late Sierra Leonean player and coach Lamine Bangura (1964/1965–2024). Additionally, Lamine identifies individuals in fields such as fashion, with Malian-Senegalese designer Lamine Badian Kouyaté, and politics, exemplified by the influential Senegalese activist Lamine Senghor (1889–1927).
