Esmé Forename Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
(m., f.) the first occurrence of this name seems to be Esmé Stuart (1543-83), 6th Seigneur d’Aubigny and afterwards Duke of Lennox, cousin of James VI of Scotland, whose mother was French. His name, which is not found earlier in the family, and which was borne by his s. and his grandson, was sometimes spelt Aymie, and it is possible that it is really the fairly common French name Aimé (see Amy). The name spread from the Stuarts to other Scottish families and eventually to England. It is not mentioned by Charlotte Mary Yonge, History of ChristianNames, 2 vols. 1863. Revised ed. 1884. It is now sometimes given to girls, probably from confusion with the old name Ismay (q.v.).
M. Not, I believe, bestowed in England before the late C19. It may be a Gallicized abbreviation of, and m. companion to Esmeralda.
