No I don't think so. God's covenant was with the nation of Israel. Amos' message to the kingdoms of Israel and Judah was they were not keeping their part of God's covenant with them.
In the book Amos Fortune, free man, Amos was encouraged by some Bible verses. On page 41, it says: "Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, and hath made us Kings and priests unto God..." There are more, but that was an important one to Amos.
If you are speaking of the "name of Amos" it means "burden" or "burden-bearer". If you are talking about the meaning of the Book of Amos, Amos was a prophet of God from Judea sent to the northern kingdom to prophecy their down fall.... it failed.

Amos was a prophet and writer of the book of Amos in the Bible, who lived in the ninth century BCE and prophesied sometime between 829 to about 804 BCE(Amos 7:14). After the split in the 12 tribes of Israel, (2 tribes continued their worship in Jerusalem, 10 tribes set up their own in Samaria),God called Amos to be a prophet to the idolatrous 10 tribe kingdom. (Amos 7:15). He was from the town of Tekoa, south of Jerusalem, where he raised sheep(Am 1:1) and worked as a 'nipper of sycamore figs'(a menial task which sped up the ripening and increased the sweetness and size of the figs).
Amos was a humble 'sheep raiser' and 'nipper of figs'(Amos 1:1/Amos 7:14) who was called by God to become a prophet to the idolatrous 10 tribe Kingdom of Israel(Amos 7:15)with it's calf worship, around 829-804 BCE. The entire book of Amos is composed of prophecies about God's execution of judgement against faithless Israel (Amos 3:1-Amos 6:14/Amos 7:1-8:14), as well as Judah and pagan nations at the time(Amos 1:1-2:16), but also held out the promise of a restoration for all those faithful to YHWH (the God of the Bible)(Amos 9:1-15).
