Etymology
Amen, meaning so be it, is of Hebrew originPaul Joüon, SJ, A Grammar of Biblical Hebrew, trans. and revised by T. Muraoka, vol. I, Rome: Editrice Pontificio Instituto Biblico, 2000. . The word was imported into the Greek of the early Church from the Jewish synagogue. . From Greek, amen entered the other Western languages. According to a standard dictionary etymology, amen passed from Greek into Late Latin, and thence into English.
The Hebrew word amen derives from the Hebrew verb aman, a primitive root. Grammarians frequently list aman under its three consonants ('mn), which are identical to those of amen . This triliteral root ('mn) means to be firm, confirmed, reliable, faithful, have faith, believe. Two English words that derive from this root are:
a. amen, from Hebrew 'amen (=truly, certainly);Both a and b derive from Hebrew 'aman (=to be firm).b. Mammon, from Aramaic mamona, probably from Mishnaic Hebrew mamôn, probably from earlier *ma'mon (=? “security, deposit”).
The Talmud teaches homiletically that the word Amen is an acronym for אל מלך נאמן ('El melekh ne'eman, "God, trustworthy King"), the phrase recited silently by an individual before reciting the Shma.
Popular among some theosophists and adherents of esoteric Christianity is the conjecture that amen is a derivative of the name of the Egyptian god named Amun (which is sometimes also spelled Amen). Some adherents of Eastern religions believe that amen shares roots with the Sanskrit word, aum. There is no academic support for either of these views.
