Ameena, which means trustworthy, is different than Amina, which has an extended proununciation of the A (like Aa-mi-na). Amina, the name of the prophet Mohammed's mother, means peaceful and such, but does not mean trustworthy.

The 'Historical references' topic makes mention on there being a 'Castelo Damina' on the Planisphere of Domingos Teixeira, and refers to this as an indication of Amina's rule. However, this could also be interpreted as Portuguese for 'Castle of the Mine', or, far more likely, as referring to the 'Castelo de São Jorge da Mina' (' Elmina Castle' in English), erected by the Portuguese in 1482. It does not seem historically acceptable to leave this information there as indicative of Amina being known to Europeans, particularly when the citation only refers to the planisphere, and not to any other claim of this.
I want to support this position, and propose that the sentence and its footnote be deleted.
