Words You Wouldn't Think Were Etymologically Related: Part 2
Amateur and Amanda
Amateur and Amanda both originate from the Latin amare, meaning to love.
Amateur comes from the Old French amateur, where it meant a lover of something, which originated from the Latin amator, meaning lover. Amator came from amare, which itself originated from the Proto-Italic root *amāō, which meant to be loved.
Amanda is a name meaning 'worthy of love', and was first recorded in England in 1212 and before that in late Antiquity.
