Ameilia

Girl name · 3 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Ameilia: 3 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 3 births in 2013.

Ameilia is a modern spelling variant of Amelia, which itself derives from the Germanic name Amalia, meaning "work" or "industrious." This elegant form gained popularity in English-speaking countries through the 18th-century princess Amelia, daughter of King George II, and later through the pioneering aviator Amelia Earhart, whose daring flights and mysterious disappearance made her an enduring icon. The name also evokes Amelia Island in Florida, named after a princess, though the island's etymology is debated. Ameilia offers a softer, more lyrical twist on the classic, and in Scotland it has appeared occasionally since the 2000s, reflecting a taste for unique spellings that maintain the name's timeless, warm appeal while setting a child apart.
