AMANDA

Amanda is a Latin gerundive name meaning "(female) that must be loved" and "worthy of love". In the majority of the seventeenth century, the freshness of Restoration drama in England included the creation of bright new character names, especially for women. Most of them had a Latin root. Amanda made her first appearance in mid seventeenth century in The Netherlands, later turning up in romantic poetry and novels. From 1976 to 1995, "Amanda" ranked in the ten most popular female baby names in the United States. The name was most popular from 1978 to 1992, when it ranked in the top 4. At its prime, in 1980, it was the second most popular. In 2006, "Amanda" ranked number 102.
