Amando

Meaning of Amando

Amando is a unisex given name of Spanish and Italian heritage, deriving from the Latin amandus (“worthy of love”) and literally meaning “loving.” Pronounced ah-MAN-doh, it has maintained a modest presence in the United States, ranking between 756 and 861 from 1978 through 1993 and reaching a peak of sixteen newborns in 1988. While more familiar in southern Europe, Amando has found occasional use among Anglo-American families who appreciate its classical roots and understated charm. Its primary association with affection and devotion brings genuine warmth, and its absence from most top-twenty lists makes it a reliably low-profile option for parents seeking something distinctive.
