Derived from the German name Amalia, Aimy is a diminutive form that has gained popularity as a given name in its own right. It is often associated with warmth and approachability due to its familiar and friendly sound. Aimy's usage as a first name has been recorded since the mid-20th century, with its peak popularity occurring during the 1970s and 1980s.
"Aimy was quite popular among parents from the late 70s to early 80s, with consistent birth counts each year ranging between 5 and 9. After a gap, it saw a resurgence in popularity around 2003, peaking at 12 births in 2008. However, since then, its popularity has declined significantly, with fewer than 10 births recorded annually."
