Ammy

Ammy is a sweet, diminutive feminine name that can function as a nickname or stand-alone name. It likely evolved as a variant spelling of Amy, which derives from the Old French 'Amée' meaning 'beloved.' The doubled 'mm' gives the name a slightly different visual appeal while maintaining the familiar pronunciation. Ammy may also serve as a nickname for names such as Amanda, Amaryllis, or Amelia. Not particularly common in official records, Ammy has a youthful, endearing quality that retains its charm into adulthood. The name's simplicity and warmth make it appealing across cultures, though it remains less common than the traditional Amy spelling.

Pronounced AM-ee.

As of October 2026, Ammy ranked #3718 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #3083 in 2005.
