Amelia

I figured it was derived from Camelia (the flower).

"Amelia is a congenital anomaly characterized by the complete absence of one or more limbs." That's from the CDC. It's a lovely name, but I'm just sharing this in case it matters to anyone choosing names for a little girl.

All the so called history but still zero meaning given for the name Amelia. Anyone notice?

Amelia is a Latin rooted name. Amelia is common in Spain due to the Latin roots. (PURE) is the meaning of the name. Pronounced Amai-lya, the A is of the vowel sound of a short O like in the word fall. Italy and Portugal is also common since the like countries all have Latin roots.

This form was first used in Henry Fielding's novel of the name; it is either a variation of Amalia or Emilia.
