What does Amy mean?
/ˈeɪ.mi/2 syllablesOrigin: Latin

Amy comes from the Old French Amée, meaning "beloved," which traces back to the Latin Amata and the verb amare, "to love." It has been used as an English given name since the Middle Ages, carried into modern times by figures from Little Women's Amy March to real-world namesakes.

Amy has an old-fashioned sweetness that never quite goes out of style — a name for a companion who's affectionate, easygoing, and quick to curl up close.
