Binta is from the Hausa, Wolof, and broader West African Arabic-influenced Binta — short form of bint (daughter). Binta in Hausa tradition — used widely across northern Nigerian Hausa-speaking communities (the Hausa people are one of the largest ethnic groups in West Africa with over 80 million speakers). Binta Diallo — modern Senegalese-American figure. Binta Sidibé — modern Malian-American figure.
Binta does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.

In Pythagorean numerology the letters of Binta reduce to 1, The Leader. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
