Amge

Amge is a surname of Indian origin. It is most commonly associated with Jyoti Kisange Amge, a public figure from Maharashtra, India. Born in 1993 in Nagpur, she rose to international prominence after Guinness World Records recognized her as the world's shortest living woman in 2011, at a height of 62.8 cm (2 ft 0.6 in).

Amge pursued acting and has appeared in film and television projects. Notably, in 2014 she played the character Ma Petite in the American horror anthology series American Horror Story: Freak Show, a role that brought her wider recognition beyond India. Her media presence has contributed to broader discussions about dwarfism, disability awareness, and representation in entertainment.

The surname Amge is primarily found among Indian populations, with strongest associations in Maharashtra and among Marathi-speaking communities. As a surname, it is relatively rare on the global stage, and Jyoti Amge remains the most widely known bearer.
