The meaning and origin of the last name Mimuna

The name Mimuna has its origin in the Berber culture of Morocco and means "sweet" in Arabic. This surname is believed to come from an old Berber lineage that inhabited the Middle Atlas region in Morocco. Berbers are an indigenous ethnic group in North Africa that has preserved their traditions and customs throughout the centuries. It is possible that the Mimuna family has acquired this surname in reference to its friendly and affectionate personality, or its closeness to the Jewish feast of the Mimuna celebrated at the end of the Jewish Passover, where sweets are shared and family and community ties are strengthened. Currently, the name Mimuna is mainly found in Morocco and in Jewish communities of the diaspora.
