Amadas, Philip

Amadas or Amidas, Philip, 1550-1618, English navigator. With Arthur Barlowe he was sent by Sir Walter Raleigh in 1584 to explore the North American coast. Their favorable report on Roanoke Island, N.C., led to the colonizing expedition (1585) under Sir Richard Grenville and Sir Ralph Lane.

Philip is a personal name, derived from the Greek Philippos (Φίλιππος), meaning "lover of horses" or "friend of horses". The name was given by the Macedonian kings, who established a cavalry and so became friends of horses.
