About the name
Amelia is the Germanic Amalia — from amal, "work, industriousness" — merged over centuries with the Latin Aemilia. Amelia Earhart gave it wings, and the name has flown ever since.
Amelia holds fourth place in America in 2024 after a decade in the top ten, and has spent years at number one in England.
It is adventurous and ladylike at once — aviator goggles over a lace collar. Mia, Amy, and Millie all live inside it. It pairs well with single-syllable middles (Amelia Rose, Amelia Claire). Vibe-wise it spans Vintage Elegant and Heirloom with a propeller's worth of Boho courage.
