Aimee
Girl name · 4,493 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Aimee: 4,493 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 264 births in 2004.
With French roots, Aimee is the elegant spelling variant of Amy, derived from the Latin *amata* meaning "beloved." This name gained popularity in Scotland during the late 20th century, partly thanks to the singer‑songwriter Aimee Mann, known for her work with ’Til Tuesday and the *Magnolia* soundtrack, and actress Aimee Teegarden from *Friday Night Lights*. Though no major place name shares this exact form, the same root appears in the town Amity, symbolising friendship. Aimee offers a softer, more romantic alternative to Amy while keeping the same cherished meaning – a choice that feels both timeless and distinctly French‑inspired.
