Meaning of Esmee

Esmee is a beautiful name for girls, with elegant French roots tracing back to the Old French esmae, meaning “esteemed” or “beloved.” Pronounced es-MAY in French or ez-MAY in English, it floats from the lips like a gentle poem. In the US, Esmee has been steadily climbing the charts—landing in the 900s with forty-one newborns receiving the name in 2024—while remaining delightfully unique. In Indian homes from Delhi to Kochi, parents drawn to its melodic charm imagine little Esmees blossoming like jasmine vines at sunrise. The name carries a playful sparkle—picture Diwali diyas dancing in a summer evening breeze—and blends modern flair with timeless grace. For families seeking a name that feels like a whispered promise of love for their baby girl, Esmee is the perfect choice.
