Amanti is Italian in Origin.

Amanti is a rare Romance given name ultimately derived from Late Latin Amantius, built on amans, amantis, the present participle of amare “to love.” It therefore conveys “loving,” “affectionate,” or “lover.” The name was borne in Late Antiquity by several Christian bishops and martyrs called Amantius in Gaul and North Africa, helping it enter medieval calendars and local cults; Occitan toponyms such as Saint-Amans reflect this legacy. In Italy and Corsica, Amanti also survives as a surname and has seen occasional revival as a given name.

Variants and cognates include Latin Amantius; Spanish and Portuguese Amancio/Amâncio; French Amans, Amant, and Amance; Occitan Amans; Italian and Spanish Amando; and Polish Amancjusz. Feminine counterparts appear as Amancia/Amância and French Amancie. Short forms used regionally include Ami, Aman, and Mancio. While historically masculine, its gentle meaning and international shape make Amanti a plausible contemporary unisex choice.
