Origin
Meaning and history of Amyrie
The name Amyrie is a relatively modern invention, likely derived from the combination of the French name Amy and the suffix "-rie" which is often used to form abstract nouns in French. It does not have a traceable origin in any specific language or culture.
While the name Amy has roots in the French form of the Latin name Amata, meaning "beloved," and can be traced back to ancient Rome, the suffix "-rie" does not have a clear etymological connection to this root. The name Amyrie seems to have been created more recently, perhaps as a unique variation on the traditional Amy.
There are no known historical references or appearances of Amyrie in ancient texts, religious scriptures, or historical records prior to the 20th century. The earliest recorded instances of the name Amyrie are likely from modern birth records and registration documents.
As a relatively new name, there are not many famous historical figures who have borne the name Amyrie. However, here are a few notable individuals:

FAQ
Amyrie: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Amyrie?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 175 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Amyrie 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 1,958,596 US residents.
Is Amyrie a common name?
We classify Amyrie as "Very Rare". It ranks above 72.4% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 177 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Amyrie most popular?
The single biggest year for Amyrie was 2003, when 13 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Amyrie is about 14 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 Amyrie in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Amyrie a female name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Amyrie 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 Amyrie still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Amyrie 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 Amyrie 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.
