amada

Amada may refer to multiple subjects. In commerce, Amada Co., Ltd., usually written AMADA, is a Japanese multinational that produces sheet-metal machinery such as laser cutters, punching systems, bending equipment, and automated systems. It maintains a global sales and service network and is a major supplier in its industry.

Amada is also a feminine given name in Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking communities. Derived from the verb amar, it means beloved or loved one, and it appears in various forms across cultures. As a given name it has been used by people in different countries, sometimes in combination with surnames or middle names.

Additionally, Amada can function as a place name or part of geographic names in different countries, though there is no single internationally prominent city or region simply called Amada.

In fiction, organizations, or brand naming, Amada is sometimes adopted for its positive meaning or phonetic appeal, leading to its use in titles, products, or entities not otherwise related to the company.

Notable individuals bearing Amada as a given name or surname have appeared in diverse areas, including arts, sports, and academia, but no single figure dominates the usage of the name.
