Famous bearers could be Amos Diggory, Cedric Diggory's hyper-competitive father; Amos Kane, Carter and Sadie Kane's uncle and a host of the Egyptian god Set; and Amos Slade from the Fox and the Hound who was adapted on Once Upon a Time in the book Red's Untold Tale and was a lover of Widow Lucas, Red's grandmother.
The "Amos and Andy Show" was a popular radio show in the U.S. during the 1920/30s and a television show in the 1950s. The main characters were Amos Jones and Andy Hogg Brown. Today, the show is best remembered for its offensive racial stereotyping. It starred African-American actors, but upheld 19th-century ideas about blacks and featured moronic dialogue. Protests from the NAACP contributed to its cancelation. Unfortunately, the stereotypes portrayed in the show are still slightly attached to Amos, and it's a shame that this lovely name doesn't get the attention it deserves.
