(Anglo-French-Latin) Love God. [A.French forms of the L. Latin Amadeus— Latin ama, imp. sing. of aware, to love + deus, a god].
Camden treats this as a personal name, deducing it from the Latin amatus. "The earls and dukes of Savoy, which be commonly called Aime, were in Latin called Amadeus, that is, 'loving God,' as Theophilus. We do now use Amias for this, in difference from Amie, the woman's name. Some deduce Amias from AEmilius, the Roman name." It may be added, however, that the town of Amiens, in Picardy, is spelt Amias by our old chroniclers. In R.G. 16 it is written wrongly-or, at all events, Amiss!
Amyas: Amongst the ancient names of the town of Nottingham, still represented there, though now rare in the county, are those of Amyas and Alvey. In the 14th century there were Merchants of the Staple of the name of Amyas, one of whom was mayor in 1334 (the name now takes the form of Amies); and more than one mayor of Nottingham in the 16th century bore the name of Alvey (D.).
