Amandah is Latin in Origin.
Amandah is a modern respelling of Amanda, from Latin gerundive amanda, “she who must be loved” or “worthy of love,” rooted in amare “to love.” The added final h is ornamental and typically silent, leaving the pronunciation identical to Amanda (uh-MAN-duh). As with many -h spellings, it arose as a stylistic flourish in late 20th–early 21st‑century naming.
Amanda entered use in 17th‑century England, favored in pastoral verse and Restoration drama, and spread throughout Europe; it soared across the English‑speaking world in the 1970s–1990s. Amandah remains rare but offers distinction without altering meaning. Variants and related forms include Amanda, Amandine (Fr.), Amandina, and the masculine Amandus/Amando; diminutives and nicknames include Mandy, Mandie, Manda, and Ama. The core sense - lovable, deserving of love - anchors this elegant, time‑tested choice.
