In 2025, 52 babies in England and Wales were named Amos. In the US, 345 were, though that figure is from 2017 — the most recent full year we hold. Its US peak was 558 in 1922.
Looking further back: between 1880 and 2008, Amos was most common in 1880, when it went to 0.11% of American babies of that sex. Squarely vintage-revival territory.
