Esmé means "beloved."
Could also be short for Esmeralda.
First recorded as the name of Esmé Stuart, a cousin and favourite of King James VII. His mother was French, which may explain his name. The name spread to other aristocratic Scottish families, and from there to general British use. It is little used in France.
