Amanda-Jane
Girl name · 18 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Amanda-Jane: 18 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 6 births in 1974.
A double-barrelled name blending two enduring classics, Amanda-Jane pairs the Latin Amanda, meaning “worthy of love,” with Jane, the English form of Johanna from the Hebrew Yochanan, “God is gracious.” Though the combined form is less common individually, its halves have notable bearers: actress Amanda Seyfried and literary icon Jane Austen, while Princess Anne’s daughter Zara Phillips carries a similar hyphenated Amanda-Jane in her full name. No major places are directly named for this combination, but both components appear globally—Amanda shares roots with the Roman goddess of love, and Jane gives us countless streets and towns. Popular in Scotland during the 1970s and ’80s, Amanda-Jane reflects the era’s fondness for pairing familiar favourites, offering a melodic, balanced choice with a touch of vintage charm.
