How do you pronounce it?
The romanization is Ampi.
Did you know?
- Because the sound 'b' in the English 'Abby' is voiced, Greeks use the letter π (pi) in the spelling Άμπι because the Greek β (beta) is actually pronounced as a 'v'.
- In Greece, names are often tied to a 'Name Day' celebration, but since Άμπι is not a traditional Orthodox saint's name, people with this name usually celebrate on the feast of the saint their full name refers to.
- Greek speakers often use diminutive suffixes like -ούλα to make names more affectionate, so an 'Abby' might be called Άμπι-ούλα by family.
