Origin and etymology of the name

Scholarly onomastic and linguistic analysis
Linguistic explanation and meaning

Amátus is a masculine name of Latin origin meaning "beloved" or "dearly loved".

Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Vychádza z latinského osobného mena Amatus, utvoreného z amātus, trpného príčastia minulého slovesa amāre „milovať“. Jeho význam je „milovaný“, „ľúbený“.

Sources and scholarly methodology: Latinský pôvod a historické doklady: Dictionary of Medieval Names from European Sources, heslo Amat. Medzinárodné podoby a kresťanská tradícia: Behind the Name, Amatus a DEON, Amat. Česká podoba: Babyweb, Amát; maďarská podoba: BabaNet, Amát. Uvedené skloňovanie je analogické podľa tradičného vzoru latinských mien s odsúvaním -us; nejde o osobitne overené slovníkové heslo Amátus. Pri súčasných zdomácnených menách sa môže -us zachovávať, ako vysvetľuje Silvia Duchková v príspevku Titus – Titusa, Kultúra slova 2018, č. 1, s. 51.
