Amanda
Amanda is a Latin feminine gerundive name meaning "she who must be loved". It is common in countries where Germanic and Romance languages are spoken. Other translations, with similar meaning, could be "deserving to be loved," "worthy of love," or "loved very much by everyone." Diminutive forms include Mandy and Manda, among others. Amy is also an English diminutive of Amanda as well as other (unrelated) given names.
