About this list
Amish names are used by Amish and Mennonite communities in the Midwest and eastern half of the United States. The Amish and Mennonites are branches of the Anabaptist Christian religion, and many of the most common Amish baby names are biblical names such as Sarah and Amos.
As well as Sarah, other Amish girl names include Fannie, Naomi, Malinda, and Katharina. In addition to Amos, other Amish boy names include Jacob, Eli, Willis, and Abram.
Unique Amish names that are used almost exclusively by Amish and Mennonite families include Aganetha, Saloma, and Lavina for girls, Atlee, Benuel, and Menno for boys.
Some contemporary Amish parents are choosing less traditional names for their babies, but historically, Amish parents have chosen from a small pool of names. As such, nicknames are prominent in Amish communities, such as Cindy, Netha, Tina, Abe, and Klaas.
Here is our complete collection of Amish names, compiled from various primary sources.
