Aminta Forename Meaning

From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

Or AMYNTA. (The m. form, Amyntas, has long been obsolete.) Seldom heard in late C19-20, Aminta was, in C17—18, a favourite name of pastoral and lyric poets; one of Sir Charles Sedley’s best and neatest poems has this arresting first stanza, ‘Fair Aminta, art thou mad, To let the world in me Envy joys I never had, And censure them in thee?’ which is as effective as the opening sentence in any Old Henry story. Apparently it derives either from Latin amans (genitive amantis), loving, or from a Greek word meaning ‘protect’.

Name This Child (1959) by Eric Partridge
