Vigor or bravery, in the documented Germanic amal-name tradition.
The exact English and German entries explain the underlying Germanic name element with these senses. This is the interpretation supplied by the reviewed dictionary, not a prediction of personality or an automatic replacement of every family’s naming tradition.
Germanic compound-name tradition, later used in Latinate forms.
The English entry links Amalia with compound names such as Amalaberga and Amalafrida; the German entry explicitly describes Latinization. Its Amelia relationship does not establish identical spelling or pronunciation.

Recorded English personal-name reading, approximately uh-MAH-lee-uh, with second-syllable stress. Other language readings remain separate.
Recorded English reading, as published. Accents and preferred pronunciations can differ.
Counts apply only to the exact spelling, place, year and recorded usage shown. Places are separate; these figures are never added into a worldwide total. Missing or suppressed records never mean zero.
| Place | Year | Recorded usage | Published births | Rank | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Canada | 2025 | Girls | 45 · preliminary | 671 | 2025 figures are preliminary. Quebec counts below five are randomly imputed by the publisher before national aggregation. Accents are removed in the source; this profile was matched only where the catalog spelling was unambiguous. Unpublished values are unknown, not zero. Rank basis: source published. |
| France | 2025 | Girls | 390 (rounded to 5) | 134 | Counts are rounded to the nearest multiple of five. Ranks use unrounded publisher counts with randomly ordered ties; equally rounded counts can have different ranks. National coverage excludes Mayotte before 2012. Missing years are unavailable, not zero. Automated direction labels are withheld for this rounded-count series. Rank basis: source published. |
| England & Wales | 2025 | Girls | 80 | 502 | Published ranks differ from ranks calculated over visible rows. Counts retained; automated trend labels withheld. Rank basis: source published. |
| Northern Ireland | 2014 | Girls | 3 | 439 | Source-reported counts; unpublished names are not zero. Rank basis: source published. |
| Scotland | 2024 | Girls | 6 | 476 | Source-reported counts; unpublished names are not zero. Rank basis: source published. |
| Ireland | 2025 | Girls | 4 | 718 | Names below three occurrences are unpublished. Accent recording changed in 2018; comparisons across that boundary may not describe the same spelling coverage. Counts refer to registrations in the year. Missing years are unavailable, not zero. Rank basis: source published. |
| United States | 2025 | Girls | 530 | 566 | Source-reported counts; unpublished names are not zero. Rank basis: calculated from published counts. |
Canada, Ireland and France coverage includes confidently matched existing profiles only; unmatched spellings are awaiting review. French counts are rounded to five.
