Amy mean loved or beloved but in Japanese it means friend

The name Amy (Ay-mee) is a popular name which literally means beloved. It is of Old French and Latin origin, the Latin word amare meaning to love. The name like most others seems to have started out as a vernacular expression which later developed into a name. The variants of the name are Aimee, Amada, Amelia and Amita. It was made popular after the American novelist Louisa May Alcott's (1832-1888) World famous novel Little Women which depicted the life of four sisters in Civil War times, the youngest among whom was called Amy.

This name is of French origin, from the old French Amee, or "beloved." (The modern French spelling is Aimée.) It may have been an affectionate nickname to begin with, derived from the Latin word for beloved, amata. (This word itself may have an older origin of uncertain meaning – it can be found as a name in the classical Roman poem "The Aeniad.")

Closely related to the name Amy is Amanda, another Latin-based name. Amanda first appeared in the 17th century, when the Latin word Amanda ("lovable" or "fit to be loved") was first used as a separate name. (There was a boy's name Amandus, much earlier, but the two don't seem to be related.) The name Amanda may have been partly inspired by Miranda, first used by Shakespeare in "The Tempest." Miranda means "admirable," from the Latin mirandus. Another name linked with Amy, Miranda and Amanda is Mirabelle or Mirabel, a common medieval name but almost unknown today.
