Yes, there really is a word in Spanish "amiga" meaning friend of the female gender. "amigo" means friend of the male gender. I say this after having had two semesters of Spanish. If the Amiga was actually named after the Spanish word, then it is a friend of the female gender. ---Prem Subrahmanyam (for those who are interested, it's Asian Indian, pronounced soo-brah-mon-yum)
