Amanda is Latin, the feminine form of the gerundive amandus, “worthy of being loved”, from amare, “to love”.
It was invented as a given name by the playwright Colley Cibber, who used it for a heroine in a Restoration comedy, and the dramatist John Vanbrugh used it soon after. It entered ordinary use in the 18th century and has stayed in English ever since.
Three A’s, M 4, N 5 and D 4 sum to 16, and 1 with 6 makes 7.
Seven is the number of quiet questions. An Amanda often asks “why” more than once, checks the source and enjoys the pleasure of understanding more than the pleasure of winning an argument. A bookshop, a footpath or a quiet room restores her.
The three A’s alone give 3, a cheerful surprise: the inner life likes words, imagery and invention, and a good letter or story is a private treat. M, N and D reach 13, then 4, which turns work into method: she lays out steps and keeps to them, patiently, until the thing is built.
On the doorstep it is the A (1) that speaks, clear-cut and confident; inside, the A (1) answers any surprise, and she takes the first step.
Thoughtful without being cold, the name combines reflection, a flair for words and a liking for order. A single set of figures can only outline the person who carries it.

Amanda means “worthy of love” in Latin, from amare. It was coined as a first name by an English playwright. The sum for Amanda is 16, then 7: 4 from the consonants (M, N, D) and 3 from the vowels (A, A, A).
Amanda, Amandine and the masculine Amandus share the Latin root. Amandine, the French form, also reaches 7 in total, but through different vowels (7) and consonants (9), so its profile is not the same. The spelling written on the certificate decides which to calculate.
