Ameya meaning
Ameya (अमेय) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin. By its first sound, अ, it is a Mesh rashi name (Krittika nakshatra) in the North Indian table.
Immeasurable, beyond measure
Also used to mean: boundless, infinite
Ameya (अमेय) is the Sanskrit ameya, from a-, "not", and meya, "to be measured", from the verb mā, "to measure". Monier-Williams gives it simply as "immeasurable", citing the Mahābhārata. It belongs to a family of names built on the idea of the unmeasured, alongside Amit and Amita from the same verb. Name lists give Ameya as "boundless", "immeasurable" or "infinite", which match the dictionary. The name is used in Maharashtra, where it is often written Amey, and is now and then given to girls.
