About Amity
Amity--what nicer gift to give your little girl than a name that signifies friendship and harmony? This virtue name is also more rhythmic and feminine than the single-syllable Hope, Faith, and Grace.
Amity is a neglected gem that could make a distinctive namesake for an Aunt Amy.
Pronounced AM-i-tee.
As of October 2026, Amity ranked #3982 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #1125 in 1979.
