Ameyah is a modern American name, first recorded in U.S. Social Security data in 2002. It reached its peak popularity in 2014, though it has never ranked in the top 1,000 names. Since 2015, its usage has been falling. The name is likely a respelling of Amaya or Maya, and it fits a broader trend of distinctive feminine names ending in 'ah.' Its rarity makes it a unique choice for parents seeking a melodic and contemporary-sounding name.
