History & Origin

Amee restores the Old French shape of Amy: amee, 'beloved', from amer ('to love') and Latin amare. Amy came into English in the Middle Ages and has never quite left; Amee is one of several respellings that circle it. Note that Amee is separately a name in Gujarati use, a route we do not claim here (said 'AY-mee').

It appears only rarely in the U.S. Rare in spelling, classic in root.

Did you know? Amee is nearly the original: the Old French word amee meant 'beloved', and English turned it into Amy. This spelling brings the French back (said 'AY-mee').
