Name
Originates from lathin meaning lovable. In the latter part of the seventeenth century, the freshness of Restoration drama in England included the creation of bright new character names, especially for women. Most of them had a Latin root. Amanda made its first appearance in this way, later turning up in romantic poetry and novels. It is also the mother's name in a key work of the modern American theater, Tennessee Williams' The Glass Menagerie.
Variations of the name Amanda: Manda, Mandalyn
Singer Mandy Moore.
