What Does the Name Amillia Mean?

Amillia is a spelling variant of Amelia, an English form of the Germanic name Amalia. Amalia rests on the Germanic element amal, most often explained as "work" or "labor," which yields the customary meaning "industrious." The same element appears in the Gothic dynastic name Amali (the Amalings), though whether the personal name grew out of the dynasty's name or simply shares the element is not settled. A second, competing explanation treats Amelia as a form of the Latin family name Aemilia, from aemulus, "rival"; this is based on the closeness of sound and spelling rather than a documented line of descent, and many reference works describe the Germanic and Latin names as having blended in later use.

Amillia Name History & Origins

Amalia was in use in German- and Dutch-speaking Europe from the Middle Ages onward, appearing in Latin records as Amalia and in German as Amalie. Related forms spread into Scandinavia and other parts of northern Europe. The Gothic royal house called the Amali, or Amalings, bore a similar name element, and a link between the two has been proposed, but the connection is not firmly documented.

English use of Amelia increased during the 1700s. Princess Amelia, a daughter of King George II, bore the name, as did the title character of Henry Fielding's novel Amelia (1751); these are frequently cited in accounts of the name's spread, though they are not evidence that any single one of them caused it. The spelling Amillia is a later respelling that doubles the l, as in Amelia, while keeping the -ia ending. Other modern respellings such as Amilia and Emelia follow the same pattern in English-speaking countries.
