History & Origin

Amii is a creative spelling of Amy, the medieval French amee, 'beloved.' The doubled i is a small flourish of its moment; Amy itself was highly popular around 1980, and this rare spelling rode briefly on that wave.

It barely registered, given to only a small handful of girls across a few years around 1980 before vanishing. A girl named Amii then is in her mid-forties today.

Did you know? Under its playful double-i, Amii is simply Amy, a name that has meant 'beloved' since medieval French speakers used amee.
