Amitis is Iranian, Persian in Origin.
Amitis is an Iranian name with roots in the Median/Old Persian world, preserved in Greek as Amytis (Ἄμυτις) and later Latinized. It is most famously borne by two royal women of the 6th–5th centuries BCE: Amytis of Media, traditionally said to have married Nebuchadnezzar II, and Amytis of Persia, a daughter of Xerxes I. The exact etymology is debated; some scholars connect it to an Old Iranian notion of companionship or amiability, while others suggest nuances of wisdom or graciousness. In modern Persian, Amitis functions as a feminine given name that evokes ancient lineage.
Usage remained rare in the West but has seen a quiet revival within Iran and the Iranian diaspora in recent decades, sometimes inspired by the legend that the Hanging Gardens were created for Queen Amytis. Variants and spellings include Amytis (classical/English), Amitis (Persian/modern), and the less common Amatis. Short forms Ami or Amy occur. Not to be confused with Amit.
