Belamy is a masculine name that appears to be a variant spelling of Bellamy, which derives from the French phrase 'bel ami' meaning 'beautiful friend' or 'fair friend.' This slightly simplified spelling maintains the melodic quality and positive meaning of the original. With its friendly connotation and pleasing sound, Belamy offers an uncommon but approachable option for parents seeking something distinctive. The name has literary and artistic associations, including connections to the 19th-century French novelist Guy de Maupassant's novel 'Bel-Ami.' Though not widely used in any spelling variation, Belamy combines vintage charm with a modern, accessible feel.
