Amy Grant Albums
Amy is an English feminine given name, the English version of the French Aimée, which means '' beloved''. It was used as a diminutive of the Latin name Amata, a name derived from the passive participle of ''amare,'' “to love”. The name has been in use in the Anglosphere since the Middle Ages. It was among the 50 most popular names for girls in England between 1538 and 1700. It was popularized in the 19th century in the Anglosphere by a character in Sir Walter Scott's 1821 novel '' Kenilworth'', which was based on the story of Amy Robsart. Enslaved Black women in the United States prior to the American Civil War were more likely to bear the name than white American women because slave masters often chose their names from literary sources.

The name peaked in usage in the United States between 1973 and 1976, when it was among ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

El Shaddai (song)

It was written by Michael Card and John Thompson, using direct quotes from scripture as their inspiration, and recorded by Card on his 1981 debut album, ''Legacy''.
