Amies is in Origin.

Amies traces to Old French ami/amie, “friend,” ultimately from Latin amicus and the verb amare, “to love.” In modern French, amies is the feminine plural “friends,” a nuance that lends the name a warm, collective sense of companionship. In English records, Amies also appears as a surname spelling developed from the same root.

As a given name, Amies is rare and largely modern, used for all genders and often chosen as a creative cousin of Amy/Amie or as a softened take on Ames and Amis; it also brushes against Amias, a Puritan-era name meaning “beloved.” Medieval literature preserves the root in the romance Amis and Amiloun, and the surname is familiar through fashion designer Sir Hardy Amies. Meanings revolve around “friend,” “beloved,” and “loved one.” Variants and related forms include Amie, Amy, Aimée, Amis, Ames, Amias, and Amice; short forms such as Ami or Ames are common nicknames.
