Amoz
Amoz (אָמוֹץ) is a proper masculine personal name denoting the father of Isaiah the prophet. The name likely conveys the idea of 'strength' or 'one who is strong,' reflecting the core sense of its root. In the Hebrew Bible, its sole function is as a patronymic identifier—'Amoz, father of Isaiah'—without narrative about the person himself. The semantic range of the name is thus restricted to its use as a personal name, grounded in a root meaning relating to strength.
