Meaning & origin
Amie is the French spelling of Amy, a name meaning 'beloved' or 'friend' derived from the Latin amicus. First recorded in the U.S. in 1880, Amie reached its peak popularity in 1976 when it ranked highest. However, since 1985 the name has been on a steady decline in usage. In 2025, Amie was given to approximately 1 in 53,576 girls born in the United States, ranking 4,546th overall. The spelling reflects a period of Francophone influence in English naming during the mid-20th century, though today it is much less common than its counterparts Amy and Aimee.
