Amadey is Latin in Origin.

Amadey is a Slavic/Russian transliteration of the Latin theophoric name Amadeus, formed from amare “to love” and Deus “God,” hence “lover of God” or “one who loves God.” Through Church Latin the name spread across Catholic Europe and was adapted into East and South Slavic as Amadey/Amadej, where the spelling with -ey reflects Cyrillic Амадей.

While never widespread, it is long attested in Christian usage alongside notable bearers such as several medieval Dukes of Savoy named Amadeus and St. Amadeus of Lausanne; in modern times the Mozart association sustains its cultural recognition in Slavic languages. Contemporary parents choose Amadey as a sleek, international twist on the classical root. Related forms include Amadeus (Latin/German), Amedeo (Italian), Amadeo (Spanish), Amadeu (Portuguese/Catalan), Amédée (French), and Amadej (Slovene/Polish). A feminine counterpart is Amadea.
