What is the meaning of the name Ayme ?

The baby name Ayme is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced Common pronunciations: English: 'AYM' (/eɪm/) or 'AY-may' (/ˈeɪ.meɪ/); French: 'eh-MAY' (/ɛ.me/).

Ayme is French in Origin.

Ayme is a rare Romance given name linked to French Aimé/Aimée, from Old French aimer “to love,” ultimately Latin amare; it means “beloved.” In medieval Francophone records Aimé/Aimée appear for clerics and laity, influenced by the cult of Saint Amatus (St. Aimé); Ayme shows up especially in southern French and Occitan spellings and in contexts where accents were dropped.

Today usage is uncommon and often unisex: in French the accented Aimé is mostly masculine and Aimée feminine, while Anglophone Ayme is read like Amy. Variants and cognates include Aimé, Aimée, Aymé, Aime, Aimee, Amy, Aymee, plus Italian Amato/Amata, Spanish Amado/Amada, and Latin Amatus/Amata. Usual pronunciations are AY-mee in English and eh-MAY in French. The name’s enduring sense across languages is “beloved.”
