Amy is a given name, a variant of "Aimee", which means beloved in French, from Old French amede, from Latin amāta, feminine singular past participle of amāre "to love". The name may also originate from French Ami, which means friend. Amy can also be a diminutive of "Amelia". Amelia is derived from a separate root word, the Germanic amal, "to work."
