Amanda also has the meaning of "Almond" from the French Amande. According to the OED, the French "Amande" can be traced to the Greek "amygdalo"also meaning almond. Dont know if Amande's and Amanda's etymologies cross, but almonds *are* fit to be loved, especially when consumed with a good high-octane drink.
