What is the meaning of the name Aimee ?

The baby name Aimee is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈeɪ.mi/ (AY-mee); French: /ɛ.me/ (eh-MAY).

Aimee is French in Origin.

Aimee is the anglicized spelling of French Aimée, the feminine form of Aimé, derived from Old French Amée and ultimately the Latin past participle amatus/amata, from amare “to love.” The core meaning is “beloved” or “well-loved.” In English, Aimee is commonly pronounced AY-mee; in French, Aimée is said eh-MAY, with the accent indicating the feminine form.

Brought to England by the Normans, the name thrived in medieval records (often as Amy/Amye), faded after the 17th century, and was stylishly revived in the Victorian era. The Aimee spelling rose in the mid–20th century, peaking in the 1970s–80s alongside Amy, helped by literary visibility (Amy March in Little Women) and modern popular culture. Principal variants include Aimée, Amy, and Amie; related masculine form is Aimé. Short forms and nicknames include Aim, Aims, and Mimi, with the timeless affectionate sense remaining central.
