Ammarie
A girl's name of Hebrew origin with 79 recorded U.S. births.
Meaning & Origin
If you're considering Ammarie, you're looking at a name that fewer than 79 families have ever chosen in the U.S. That kind of rarity is intentional — it signals that the name was chosen for its sound, its personal meaning, or a family connection rather than a trend.
The bright, approachable ending gives Ammarie a crisp, modern feel that pairs easily with most surnames.
In the most recent SSA release, Ammarie ranks #15395 among U.S. girl names — distinctive enough to stand out.
Ammarie is a girl's baby name of Hebrew and French origin, a compound of Am(m) — from the Hebrew meaning 'my people' or connected to the name family of Amara, meaning 'eternal' — and Marie, the French form of Mary meaning 'beloved.' The combination has the devotional warmth of compound names.
Ammarie carries the communal identity of its Am- root with the Marian devotion of its -marie ending. It has the comfortable, mid-century quality of double names where two beloved elements were joined into one flowing unit of warmth.

In the American context, Ammarie is a girl's name with a focused stretch of recorded use (2003–2024). Its Hebrew roots connect it to a broader naming tradition, but in practice, American usage often reshapes names — adding nicknames, shifting pronunciation, and building new associations that diverge from the original cultural context.
Today, Ammarie is an active part of the American naming landscape (ranked #15395), continuing to accumulate its own cultural meaning with each new child who carries it.
