Amande Origin and Meaning

The name Amande is a girl's name of French origin.

Amande is a delicate feminine name with French origins, derived from 'amandier' meaning 'almond tree.' It's closely related to the name Amanda, which comes from the Latin 'amanda' meaning 'worthy of love' or 'lovable.' Amande has a softer, more distinctly French pronunciation and feel compared to its more common counterpart. This elegant name is relatively rare in English-speaking countries but carries sophistication and subtle beauty. The almond association brings symbolism of promise and hope, as almond trees are among the first to bloom in spring. While never achieving widespread popularity, Amande appeals to parents seeking a refined name with European flair and natural symbolism.
