Did you know?
- In classical Italian literature, names like Amanda were often used as 'speaking names' to signal the character's role as the object of desire before the plot even began.
- The root of Amanda is the same as the Italian verb amare, which is the basis for the word amante. In Italian, amante can mean both a 'lover' and a 'passionate enthusiast' of a hobby.
- While Amanda is a name, the word amando is the gerund form of 'loving'. This creates a linguistic play on words in Italian poetry between the name and the act of loving.
