Amelia is a female given name. It is a variant of Amalia, derived from the Germanic word ''amal'' meaning 'work', 'industrious' and 'fertile'. The variant form ''Amelie'' is derived from the French equivalent, ''Amélie''. Diminutive forms include Amy, Emma, Milly and Mel. Etymologists believe that the name Amelia/Amalia 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 have a different origin from this Germanic name. ==Popularity== In 2013 it was the eighth most popular name for girls in Australia. == Famous people with the name Amelia== *Amalberga of Maubeuge, Saint Amelia, early medieval saint *Princess Amelia of Great Britain (1711–1786) *Princess Amelia of the United Kingdom (1783–1810) * Amelia Adamo (born 1947), Swedish magazine founder and editor *Amelia Andersdotter (born 1987), Swedish politician *Amelia Bloomer (1818–1894), American feminist, started the newspaper ''The Lily'', popularized bloomers *Amelia Bullmore (born 1964), English actress *Amelia R.
