Amada
About Amada
Amada is an unusual Spanish name that's becoming more famous thanks to Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes, who named their second daughter Amada Lee and their first Esmeralda Amada. Amada was also the name of two characters played by Mendes and, not coincidentally, her grandmother's name. In 2015, it was used for only 21 girls while brother name Amado was used for twice as many girls, but we predict the name will become more popular thanks to its new star power. Related names include the Latin saints' name Amatus, the musical Amadeo, and even Amy and Amanda.
Pronounced ah-MAH-duh.
As of October 2026, Amada ranked #3522 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #1175 in 1898.
Editor's take: The name Amada is a girl's name of Spanish origin meaning "loved".
