Beloved or friend
As a feminine name, it is an archaic English variant of Amy, derived from the Old French 'Aimée', meaning beloved. In a masculine or unisex context, it often stems from the Sanskrit name 'Ameya', meaning boundless or immeasurable. It has a long history in England dating back to the Middle Ages before the spelling was standardized.
