A female character name from literature, most famously from Torquato Tasso's Renaissance pastoral play 'Aminta' about love and nature.
From Italian, possibly derived from Latin amans meaning lover, or from Greek mythology. The name was popularized by Tasso's 1573 play 'Aminta,' which became hugely influential in European literature.
Torquato Tasso's 'Aminta' was the breakout romantic play of the Renaissance—it was so popular that the pastoral love story became the template for romance literature, influencing Shakespeare and countless writers who followed.
