Origin
Meaning and history of Amiree
The name Amiree is a variant of the French name Aimée, which is derived from the Old French word "amer," meaning "to love." The name can be traced back to the Middle Ages in France, where it was commonly given to girls as a symbol of affection and devotion.
One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Amiree can be found in the 12th century epic poem "Le Roman de la Rose," which tells the story of a courtly romance. In the poem, a character named Amiree is portrayed as a beautiful and virtuous woman, embodying the ideals of courtly love and devotion.
During the Renaissance period, the name Amiree gained popularity among the French nobility and aristocracy. One notable figure from this time was Amiree de Bourbon (1487-1531), a French noblewoman and the daughter of Peter II, Duke of Bourbon. She played a significant role in the political and cultural life of her era.
In the 18th century, the name Amiree was associated with the French Enlightenment movement. Amiree de Lenclos (1620-1705), a renowned French courtesan and author, was known for her wit, intelligence, and literary salons, which attracted many prominent philosophers and intellectuals of the time.
Another historical figure who bore the name Amiree was Amiree Bonpland (1773-1858), a French botanist and explorer who accompanied Alexander von Humboldt on his famous scientific expedition to Latin America. Bonpland made significant contributions to the study of plant life in the region and was instrumental in the discovery of several new species.
During the 19th century, the name Amiree found its way into literature and the arts. Amiree Favart (1809-1892) was a French author and playwright who wrote several popular novels and plays that explored themes of love, romance, and societal norms.
While the name Amiree is not as common today as it once was in France, it continues to be used as a beautiful and meaningful name, celebrating love, affection, and devotion. The rich history and cultural significance of this name make it a timeless choice for parents seeking a name with deep roots and a sense of tradition.

FAQ
Amiree: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Amiree?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 162 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Amiree going back to 1880 and adjusting each cohort for expected survival using CDC actuarial life tables. The result is an age-weighted living-bearer count, not a raw birth total. That works out to about 1 in 2,115,768 US residents.
Is Amiree a common name?
We classify Amiree as "Very Rare". It ranks above 71.4% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 163 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Amiree most popular?
The single biggest year for Amiree was 2023, when 38 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Amiree is about 9 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
What does the SSA popularity chart show?
The chart tracks births, not the number of people alive with the name today. Each point shows how many babies were given the name Amiree in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Amiree a female name?
Yes, 86.5% of people registered as Amiree in the SSA data are female. You can see the full per-sex comparison in the gender distribution section above, which includes the latest year rank, birth count, and peak year for each sex.
Is Amiree still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Amiree in 2024, and the page above shows its latest-year rank where available. A name can be well past its peak and still remain in steady use, especially if it built up a large population over earlier decades.
Why can a name have a lot of living bearers even if it is not trendy now?
Because living-bearer counts and current baby-name popularity measure different things. A name like Amiree can build up a very large population over many decades, even if fewer parents are choosing it now than they did at its peak.
Where does this data come from?
First-name figures come from the Social Security Administration's national baby name files, which cover every name on a birth certificate from 1880 to 2024. Living-bearer estimates layer in CDC actuarial life tables broken out by sex to account for mortality. The population baseline (342,754,338) is the Census Bureau's latest national estimate. You can read the full calculation on our methodology page.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only covers names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files do not have a published Census demographic snapshot. In those cases, the page still shows the SSA trend, gender history, and state data.
