In Agatha Christie's "Five Little Pigs" (a Hercule Poirot mystery), the victim's name is Amyas Crale. The television show "Poirot" used the story (and character names) for one episode.

Relating to the male name Amos - as the spelling of Amias is comparable - I would pronounce Amias "AY-mee-us".

Some authorities have explained this and Amyas as contractions of Amadeus; others hold it to be a Latinization of Esme.
