The story behind the name

Possibly most associated with Amos Cookies or Chicago, this gender-neutral name is of Hebrew origin and relates back to the Bible. Though commonplace in a time gone by, couples of the modern era are starting to use the name once again. Looking back at Amos' roots, this was the name of an 8th century BC prophet whose sayings are collected in the biblical book named after him. If you’re looking for a once traditional name with religious ties, this could be the name for you.
