seems right. maybe one is greek name and the other is roman? they often had the same gods, but with different names.

I think Cupid may have been an amorine, a servant of Amor. That was the Roman version.

The Greek god of love was Eros.

Been doing too many crosswords. When it's "god of love" at four letters, the third letter can always be filled in, but for the rest I need to find out one of the other letters.

I'm pretty sure Cupid is the same thing as Amor (both Roman), and Eros is the Greek version. The figures you occasionally see in architecture are putti or amorini, Cupid's (Amor's) diminutive servants.

I think everyone mentioned so far does... Also I looked it up and amorini might not necessarily Cupid's servants, just multiple figures inspired by Cupid

In Germany they're called "Putten", little proper babies with wings, curly hair and sometimes wearing a bow and arrows...
