Forms: 1800s Omish, 1800s Ommish, 1800s– Ahmish, 1800s– Amisch, 1800s– Amish, 1800s– Aymish, 1900s– Aimish.

Origin: Of multiple origins. Partly from a proper name, combined with an English element. Apparently also partly a borrowing from Pennsylvania German. Etymons: proper name Ammann , -ish suffix¹; Pennsylvania German ammisch.

Etymology: Ultimately < Am- in the name of Jacob Ammann (also Amman or Ammon ) + -ish suffix¹, apparently via Pennsylvania German ammisch (see quot. 1820 at sense A.).The forms Omish and Ommish probably reflect the back variant of /a/ found in Pennsylvania German before a nasal.
