Submitted Name Revision History

English vernacular form of #Amphelisia# (see also AMPFLISE), which as an English name survived until the 19th century mainly as Amplias, also as #Amphillis#, #Amphlis#. All forms possibly derive from Greek #ampelos# "vine" (compare AMPELIO), though Charnock suggested "speaking two languages". No examples of the name noted since the 1880s.
