Amory is English in Origin.
Amory is an English given name and surname from medieval French Amaury/Aimery, ultimately the Old Germanic Amalric(us): amal (“vigor, work, bravery”) + ric (“power, ruler”). Its meaning is “industrious” or “brave” ruler. Brought to Britain by the Normans, it appears in medieval records as Amery, Amori, and Amory, and often overlapped with Aymeric and the sound-alike, etymologically separate Emery.
It circulated in chivalric and Crusader circles (cf. Aimery of Lusignan; kings named Amalric) before settling as both forename and surname in England. The 20th century revived Amory in the U.S., helped by F. Scott Fitzgerald’s protagonist Amory Blaine. Today it remains uncommon yet stylish and increasingly unisex. International variants include Amaury (French, Spanish), Amauri (Portuguese), Aimery/Aymeric (French), and Amery (English). Common pronunciation is AM-uh-ree.
