The name Amneris is derived from the ancient Egyptian goddess and queen Amuniri, meaning "she who is greater than all others." The name has been popularized through the opera "Aida" by Giuseppe Verdi, in which Amneris is a central character. Possibly invented by the French Egyptologist Auguste Mariette for use in Verdi's opera 'Aida' (1871), where it belongs to a daughter of the Egyptian pharaoh, a jealous rival of the title character. Perhaps it was based on Amestris or a name of Egyptian origin. Amneris is predominantly used as a feminine given name, although it can also be used as a surname.
