Amie

Girl name · 623 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Amie: 623 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 39 births in 1996.

Beloved and sweet, Amie is a charming variant of Amy, rooted in the Old French name *Amée* and ultimately the Latin *amata*, meaning “loved.” It shares its gentle meaning with the more common Amy, yet the *-ie* ending gives it a distinctly Scottish or French lilt, often chosen for its soft, feminine feel. Notable bearers include Australian author Amie Kaufman, known for the *Illuminae* series, and Scottish actress Amie McKinnon, who has appeared in theatre and television. While no major places bear the name, the root *ama-* appears in the Italian town of Amalfi. A lovely alternative to Amy, Amie carries the same endearing sentiment with a slightly more romantic spelling.
