Amour is the French word for "love", used in the United States as a modern word name in the spirit of Cherish and Precious. It is not a traditional given name in France itself, where it would sound unusual, but its romantic sound appeals to American parents. Amour is rare for girls in the United States: it rose from number 3997 in 2015 to a peak of number 2158 in 2022 and ranks number 2780 in 2025.
