Aimee
Aimée is the French feminine past participle of "aimer" — to love — so it literally means "beloved" or "loved one." The accent over the first E is usually dropped in English. The name has been in use in France since the Middle Ages and arrived in the English-speaking world through Huguenot immigrants and later through the long Anglo-French love affair with French names. Aimee was moderately popular in the US in the 1970s, peaking around #170 in 1975, largely on the strength of the actress Aimée Anouk and the singer Aimee Mann. It has a soft, slightly wistful quality that other "love" names (Megan, Amanda) lack — perhaps because French gives everything a note of melancholy. What I appreciate about Aimee is its transparency. The name means exactly what it is: someone who is loved. There is no metaphor, no symbolism, just the simple statement. The doubled "e" at the end gives it a fluttery brightness, while the "m" in the middle keeps it grounded. Aimee is a female name of French / Latin origin that means "Beloved (from Latin "amare")". Affectionate, sensitive, and artistic. The name sounds tender. Aimees often feel things deeply. Peaked at US #153 in 1976. Now outside top 1000. Well-known people named Aimee include Aimee Mann (musician), Aimee Osbourne (daughter of Ozzy), Aimée (French actress Anouk Aimée), Aimee Semple McPherson (evangelist).
