The boy's name Ames is pronounced aymz. It is of French origin, and its meaning is "friend". The name may be related to the Latin word for love, "amor", or may have referred to those who lived near elm trees, or may be a variant of Amos (Hebrew) "borne by God".
Ames is a very rare male first name and a very popular surname (source: 1990 U.S. Census).
