Amilia

Girl name · 3 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Amilia: 3 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 3 births in 2018.

A modern twist on the classic Amelia, Amilia ultimately traces back to the Germanic name Amalia, meaning “work” or “industrious.” It also shares roots with the Roman family name Aemilius, linking it to the ancient region of Aemilia—now Emilia-Romagna in Italy. While the variant itself has no household-name bearers, its parent form is immortalised by pioneering aviator Amelia Earhart. In Scotland, Amilia appears as a graceful alternative to Emilia, reflecting a broader trend toward softer, vowel-rich spellings. Its gentle rhythm and international feel make it a favourite among parents seeking a name that feels both familiar and distinctive.
