Amot is Hebrew in Origin.

Amot is a compact cross-linguistic name with layered meanings. In Chamorro (Guam and the Marianas), åmot means "medicine" or "remedy," giving the name a healing, restorative sense. In Norwegian toponymy, Åmot comes from Old Norse elements meaning "river" (á) and "meeting" (mót), denoting a confluence; as a personal name it suggests calm, grounded imagery. In Hebrew contexts, Amot is sometimes read as a clipped form of Amotz/Amatz, tied to a root meaning "strong, courageous." Pronounced AH-moht, it works as a unisex choice.

Usage is rare but present as a modern given name, more familiar historically as a surname or place-name (Åmot/Aamot in Norway). Chamorro speakers may adopt it as a meaningful word-name, while some Jewish families use it as a streamlined alternative to Amotz. Variants and related forms include Åmot, Aamot, Amoth, Amotz/Amatz; sound-alike or cognates include Amos and Amit. Meanings cluster around healing, river-confluence, or strength.
