What is the meaning of the name Amaranda ?

Amaranda is Spanish in Origin.

Amaranda is a rare feminine given name linked to the Greek amarantos “unfading, imperishable,” source of the amaranth flower name. Through the learned Latin Amaranthus arose the feminine forms Amarantha and Amaranta in European languages; Amaranda likely developed as an elaboration or blend influenced by Amanda and Miranda. The core meaning echoes “everlasting” and “unfading beauty” associated with the amaranth.

Amarantha appears in 17th-century English verse - Richard Lovelace’s “Amarantha, sweet and fair” - and Amaranta is familiar in Spanish and Italian, reinforced in Latin American literature. Amaranda itself surfaces intermittently from the late 20th century in English- and Spanish-speaking communities but remains uncommon. Variants and cognates include Amarantha, Amaranta, Amaranth, and Amarante; diminutives and short forms include Ama, Mara, Randa, Andi, Ami, and Ara. With its floral, classical roots and cross-cultural echoes, Amaranda offers a distinctive choice signifying endurance and lasting beauty.
