Amos is Hebrew in Origin.
Amos is a masculine given name from Hebrew ʻAmos (עָמוֹס), derived from the Semitic root ʿ-m-s “to carry, load,” yielding the sense “carried [by God]” or “burden-bearer.” In the Hebrew Bible, Amos is an 8th‑century BCE shepherd-prophet from Tekoa, author of the Book of Amos, whose themes of justice and social conscience have kept the name resonant. English pronunciation is AY-məs.
Carried into Greek (Ἀμώς) and Latin as Amos, the name spread through Jewish and Christian traditions, later embraced by English Puritans and widely used in colonial New England. Its steady presence in English-speaking countries waned in the 20th century but has seen a gentle revival with the resurgence of concise, vintage biblical names. International variants include Amós (Spanish, Portuguese), Ámos (Hungarian), and ʿĀmūs (Arabic), with Amos also standard in Italian and Scandinavian contexts. Notable bearers include Amos Bronson Alcott, Amos Oz, and Amos Tutuola.
