Eimee is in Origin.

Eimee is a modern, phonetic respelling of the French name Aimée, the feminine past participle of aimer, "to love," ultimately from Latin amare. As such, its core meaning is "beloved" or "dearly loved." The spelling replaces the initial Ai- with Ei- without altering pronunciation, aligning it with contemporary naming trends that favor distinctive visuals while preserving familiar sounds.

Aimée was used in medieval France and travelled into England via Old French, where the streamlined form Amy flourished from the Middle Ages, saw a Victorian revival, and peaked in Anglophone countries in the late 20th century. Eimee itself remains rare but is intelligible wherever Aimee/Amy are known. Close variants and diminutives include Aimée, Aimee, Amy, Amie, and Amee; the masculine counterpart is Aimé. Related cognates carrying the same sense of "beloved" appear as Amata (Latin/Italian) and Amada (Spanish/Portuguese).
