Amanda is associated with the meaning “Worthy of love, lovable” — a beautiful sentiment to see brought to life in your child’s room.
Amanda springs directly from Latin, carrying the powerful meaning "worthy of love" or "deserving to be loved." The name comes from the gerundive form of the Latin verb "amare," meaning to love. Roman poets and playwrights occasionally used it as a poetic invention, a name that could embody affection itself. It was a literary creation before it became a given name, appearing in plays and pastoral poems across Europe during the 17th and 18th centuries.
