What does the name Ammie mean?
Ammie is a spelling of Amy, pronounced the same way, so it shares Amy's meaning and origin.
Amy is the English form of Old French Amée (modern Aimée), 'beloved', which DMNES gives as the feminine of Ami, 'friend'. Wiktionary and Wikipedia add that it also served as a form of the Latin name Amata, 'beloved', from amare, 'to love'. DMNES notes that, despite its French roots, the name was more popular in England than in France. Wikipedia says it has been used in English since the Middle Ages.
