Meaning & History
Ami 2 is an English variant spelling of the name Amy. Amy itself derives from the Old French name Amée, meaning "beloved" (modern French aimée), which is a vernacular form of the Latin Amata. As an English name, Amy was used in the Middle Ages, though not common, and was revived in the 19th century.
The variant Ami, along with other forms like Aimee and Amie, offers a modern or simplified spelling while retaining the same pronunciation and meaning. In other languages and cultures, the name appears as Aimée in French, Amata in Late Roman, Amée in Medieval French, and Amada in Spanish.
