This weekend my mother, husband and i went to visit my grandmother (93 years). We went out for a cup of coffee and tea. We talked about her youth. My grandmother had a chinees father. One day he left with his son (the brother of my grandmother). She has never seen them again. She told us that she remember that her father called her Amoy instead of her real name Olga.
I've never heard the name Amoy before. My mother and i both liked it. And now with that story of my grandmother it means something to me.
Does any of you know the meaning? Have you heard it before? And is it a name that can be used?
