Amadis is Portuguese, Spanish in Origin.
Amadis is a medieval Romance given name, best known in its Spanish form Amadís. Its etymology is debated, but most scholars link it to Latin amare/amatus “to love/beloved,” giving the sense “beloved” or “the loving one.” It is sometimes conflated with Amadeus (“lover of God”), yet the names are distinct.
The name spread across Europe via the chivalric romance Amadís de Gaula, edited in 1508 and widely translated; the French Amadis gained favor at court and inspired Lully’s opera Amadis (1684) and Handel’s Italian Amadigi di Gaula (1715). As a given name it has remained rare but persistent, appearing sporadically in Spain, Portugal, France, and occasionally in English-speaking countries. Established variants include Amadís (Spanish/Portuguese), Amadis (French/English, also used in German), and Amadigi (Italian).
