AMÉE (Medieval French)
AIMÉE (Modern French)
AMY (English)I am English and my name is spelt as a form of the Old French name Amée
Meaning "BELOVED" (modern French aimée), a vernacular form of the Latin Amata.


As an English name, it was in use in the Middle Ages (though not common then) was revived in the 19th century and I have only ever come across Amy's or Aimee's in my time.
Amee is not only a lovely meaning, but the medieval times were a little different than this day and age and I love that. On a personal level it's nearly always raised spelling issues, such like my mother has missed out the "I" but as my surname is also really French (Lyons) I feel that my mum matched my names together well. Unfortunately I'm yet to discover any French within my family history nor have I met an Amee with a double ee. From Amee Lyons.
