Ami

עַמִי

• Gender: Male
• Origin: Modern Hebrew
• Meaning: my people

• Ami means "my people" in Hebrew, packing a profound sense of community and belonging into just two syllables. It is widely used as a nickname in Israel but stands beautifully on its own as a given name. There is something lovely about giving your child a name that is essentially a declaration of connection.

  In an era of maximalist names, Ami is a refreshing micro-name that punches well above its weight. Its meaning gives it a warm communal spirit that feels especially resonant for Jewish families — a tiny name with an enormous heart.
