From Greek Amintōr. The name appears in various classical works and may be connected to Greek mythology, though the etymology is uncertain. It was used in pastoral literature.
Amintor appears in Beaumont and Fletcher's tragedy 'The Maid's Tragedy' where he's a virtuous young man betrayed by those around him—his name became synonymous with tragic innocence in Renaissance drama.
