Amyri
Primarily a girl's name of Latin origin with 238 recorded births. Also given to 7 boys.
Meaning & Origin
Amyri peaked during the Gen Alpha era, when 19 babies received this name in a single year (2024). That era was defined by creative, boundary-pushing naming, and Amyri remains in active use today — a name that has outlasted its original moment.
In the most recent SSA release, Amyri ranks #6162 among U.S. girl names — distinctive enough to stand out.
Amyri is a girl's and boy's baby name of modern origin, a creative variant combining Amy — from the Latin amata meaning 'beloved' — with the -ri suffix that echoes Hebrew and Sanskrit name endings. The result has a contemporary feel with ancient resonance.
Amyri carries the sweet, loving meaning of Amy in a more distinctive package. Its two syllables flow naturally and the -ri ending gives it a slightly exotic, global quality that the simple Amy lacks.
