AMELIA (NAME)

'Amelia' is a female given name. It is derived from the Germanic word ''amal'' meaning "work". It also means "industrious" and "fertile". The diminutive is usually 'Amy'.
Etymologists believe that the name Amelia is unrelated to the Latin ''gens'' name Aemilia, which was translated into English as Emily. Equivalents of Aemilia/Emily in romance languages do sound similar to Amelia (e.g. Italian Emilia) but should not be confused with this Germanic name.
