Yevamos 080: Ami - Imi
Menachem Weiman asks:
On the Point by Point section I saw that word translated as "my mother"
(Immi) but others translate it as the name of a chacham named Ami. It does
seem odd that Rav Yosef is quoting a chacham without a title like Rebbe Ami
or Rav Ami, but Rav Yosef does use the masculine "amar" afterward which
would presumably mean the person he is quoting is a man not a woman. Is
there a rishon or acharon that says it is "my mother"?

The Kollel replies:
In the Venice (5288) edition of the Gemara the text reads Amrah. This
indicates that Rav Yosef is indeed referring to his mother. This is also
the opinion of the Hafla’ah in his Sefer on Yevamos Beis Pinchas.
However, Tosfos in Zevachim (50a DH Amar), the Shita Mekubetzes (ibid. note
34) as well as the Ritva in Yevamos all say Rav Ami.
It is interesting to note that there is an Amora called Rav Yosef Bar Ami
(not bar Rav Ami) mentioned in Zevachim 3b and Kidushin 63b. However, it is
unlikely that Rav Yosef would refer to his father by name as this is Asur
(see YD 240:2).
