What Does the Name Aime Mean?
Aime means "beloved" and is a form of the French names Aimé (masculine) and Aimée (feminine). Both come from the Latin amatus, "loved," the past participle of the verb amare, "to love." The French verb aimer still means "to love" or "to like," so the name's literal sense is that of a loved person. In French spelling, the acute accent and the final e mark the two genders; written as Aime without the accent, as often happens in English-language records, the name no longer shows that distinction.
Aime Name History & Origins
The Latin amatus was used as a personal name in Christian Latin, and it became Amé in Old French and later Aimé. The name was borne by medieval churchmen, among them Amatus, bishop of Sion in what is now Switzerland, and it stayed in use in French-speaking Europe through the Middle Ages. The feminine Aimée is the same word in its feminine form, and French records use both.
In French-speaking Canada, Aimé has remained a given name and is also found there as a surname. In the English-speaking world the feminine name usually appears as Aimée or Aimee; Aime is the same name with the accent left off, a common simplification when French names are written in English-language registers. The English name Amy descends from Old French Amee and the same Latin verb amare, but it developed along its own line rather than as a short form of Aime.
Aime is also used as a feminine given name in Estonia, where it is generally linked to the French name, though the route by which it entered Estonian use is not clearly documented.
