History & Origin

Amori plays on two sources at once: Latin amor, 'love', and the surname Amory or Emory, meaning 'brave, industrious ruler'. It's a soft modern coinage rather than a name carried down through generations.

Rare in the records, and just as comfortable on a girl.

Did you know? Amori catches both Latin amor, 'love', and Amory/Emory, 'brave ruler'. Which one a family hears is really up to them.
