Americah is English in Origin.

Americah is a contemporary respelling of America, the feminine form created from Latin Americus, the name borne by explorer Amerigo Vespucci. Amerigo itself traces to the Germanic Emmerich (ermen “whole, universal” + ric “ruler, power”), yielding the sense “universal ruler” or “all-powerful ruler.” As a given name, it also evokes the place-name America and its associations with the New World and patriotism.

In English-speaking records, America appears from the 18th–19th centuries, with steadier use in Spanish as América; Americah represents a modern stylistic -h ending similar to Sarah or Norah. Related forms include America, América, Amerika and Amerikah (rare), and the masculine Amerigo, Américo, and Americus. Possible nicknames are Ami, Meri/Merry, Rica, Rika, and Erica. The name blends a venerable Germanic meaning with contemporary, place-based resonance, suiting those who want something familiar yet distinctive.
