Why were they named Jews?
The word "Jew" derives from "Judah," one of the 12 Tribes of Israel. When the Jewish Kingdom split into two after the death of King Solomon, the tribes of Judah and Benjamin formed the Southern Kingdom, which was called Judea, and ruled from Jerusalem by descendants of King David. In 722 BCE the Assyrians conquered and dispersed the Northern Kingdom (hence the "Lost Tribes of Israel"), leaving Judea as the sole Jewish nation, and its people known as Judeans - or, eventually, Jews.

What is a smaller southern kingdom founded by 2 of the 12 tribes of Israel?
Rehav'am (Rehoboam), the son of King Solomon, became king over the southern kingdom, after the ten northern tribes broke away under Yerav'am (Jeroboam). The southern kingdom, known as Judah, consisted of Judah and Benjamin, two tribes, and continued until the First Destruction a few centuries later. Whereas the ten northern tribes were collectively called Israel, and went lost after their exile, which occurred about 275 years after the split (133 years before the First Destruction).
Why did the 10 tribes break away from judah?

This split was exacerbated by disputes over leadership and worship practices.

In the Bible what tribe was a part of the Southern Kingdom?
The southern two-tribe kingdom was called Judah and it consisted of the tribes of Judah and Benjamin. Additional Comments: Though directly after the split in Israel with Judah and Benjamin remaining in what would be called the Southern Kingdom, the Levites (priests) were soon banned from the Northern Kingdom and went to the southern parts. As with any country of mixed peoples/tribes, there will always be some of every tribe remaining in the South due to marriage, business or just their living place.
Who were the people in the book of Amos?
Primarily Amos, a Judean prophet, was sent by God to the Northern Kingdom of Israel. At this time in the land the full nation of Israel had split into two groups. One group (nation) was Judah with Benjamin known as the Southern kingdom, and the other ten tribes (Reuben, Simeon, Dan, Naphtali, Gad, Zebulun, Issachar, Asher, Ephraim, and Manasseh) composed the Northern Kingdom. This kingdom was grossly sinful, and mostly denying God. Amos was sent to them to pronounce the coming judgment on them.
