Answer 2

NO.  It comes from the French "Aimee" meaning "beloved".

Answer 3

No. Different roots.

"Itjsustme" is a goddess; ten points for her.

All the Amandas I know are Mandy or Mandas, and all the Amys I know are Aimees, Amys, or Amelias. Source: daughter-in law and future daughters-in-law.

Amelia is Germanic and refers to work, effort and strain. http://www.babynamesworld.com/meaning_of...

Amanda is Latin and quite different character, and even more demanding: http://www.babynamesworld.com/meaning_of...

And if someone turns Amanda into Amy, just cuz it's easier and they like it, that's OK too, especially if they love you.  It beats a nickname like Bertha or Scooter or Goofball these days.

Answer 4

No it doesn't has far as  I  know, this is the origins of both names for you.

Amy

English: Anglicized form of Old French Amee “beloved”. This originated in part as a vernacular nickname, in pan as a form of Latin Amata. The latter is ostensibly the feminine form of the past participle of amare to love, but in fact it may have had a different, pre-Roman, origin; it was borne in classical mythology by the wife of King Latinus, whose daughter Lavinia married Aeneas and (according to the story in the Aeneid) became the mother of the Roman people.

Amanda

A 17th-century literary coinage from the Latin gerundive (feminine) amanda lovable, fit to be loved, from amare to love. This is evidently modelled on Miranda. The masculine form Amandus, borne by various saints from the 4th to the 7th century, seems not to have been the source of the feminine form, and is itself not now used. The female name enjoyed considerable popularity in the mid-20th century. Short form: Manda.

Pet form: Mandy.

Hope this helps.
