What Amat means
Where Amat comes from and what it has meant to the people who carry it.
Amat comes from Latin, and its root is amare, to love. Beside it stands amatus, the past participle, meaning loved or beloved. The sense handed down with the name is that direct: beloved. The same root fed Latin amor and the words for love that Romance languages later grew.
In a Latin lesson amat is not a name. It is a verb, third person singular, he loves or she loves. Pupils met it early, in the drilled row amo, amas, amat. The related form Amatus did become a name. Saint Amatus of Remiremont, born around 584 near Grenoble, was the first abbot of that mountain monastery.
Written on an imieniny card, or entered on a form at the urząd, Amat keeps the shape of that verb. The root is amare. The name means beloved, ukochany in Polish, and in Latin it still reads as he loves.
When Amat celebrates name day
