Meaning not yet researched.
We publish a meaning only with a cited source and a confidence label, and never generate one. Meanings are being researched for the most common names first.
Wikidata records this spelling as a given name in Arabic, Dutch, Finnish, Galician, Italian, Polish and Slovene. That is where the name is used, not necessarily where it comes from.
Rare spellings summarised here: Amala (326), Amalee (187), Amaly (105), Amaliyah (38), Amalina (21), Amalyah (19), Amaleah (17).
Numbers are all-time US births. Links come from Wikidata’s “said to be the same as” (P460, CC0) and our spelling rule: at most two letters different, with the same sound pattern.
No nicknames listed for Amalia in the open dataset we use.
