What Does the Name Amori Mean?
Amori is a rare given name whose spelling is shared by several unrelated names. In English use it is most often treated as a variant of Amory, an English surname and first name that comes from the Norman French personal name Amaury, from the Germanic Amalric. That Germanic name is usually analyzed as amal, commonly glossed as "work" or "vigor," plus ric, "ruler" or "power," giving a literal sense such as "work-ruler" or "vigorous ruler." The same spelling also appears as a form of Amari, which has separate origins of its own, and as an Italian surname from amore, "love." Because these names overlap in spelling, the meaning of a particular Amori depends on which of them a family had in mind, and the given name itself is best described as of uncertain meaning.
Amori Name History & Origins
The Germanic elements behind Amory came to England with the Normans, whose Amaury became an English surname and, over time, a given name. Amori follows that spelling tradition in modern use, but it also stands on its own as an Italian surname and as a spelling of Amari, so its history is not simply Amory's. In Italian, amori is the plural of amore, "love." Amory is widely known from F. Scott Fitzgerald's This Side of Paradise (1920), whose main character is Amory Blaine; that is a familiar literary use of the older spelling, not the source of the name.
