Ammi Name Meaning

The name "Ammi" is primarily used in the Hebrew-speaking communities and it means "my people" or "my nation" in Hebrew. It is mostly given to boys.

The name Ammi was notably borne by a character in the Old Testament of the Bible, specifically in the book of Hosea. God commanded the prophet Hosea to name his second son Lo-Ammi, which means "not my people," as a symbol of Israel's separation from God. However, later on, God promises to once again accept Israel as "Ammi," His people, symbolizing reunion and forgiveness.
