Amelia is a name given in France since the beginning of the 20th century. Very discreet, it did not meet with success with parents until the late 1980s. Indeed, during this period, there were on average less than 10 Amelia births per year. From the 1990s, the name Amelia began to take its place among the most appreciated female names in France. This growth coincides strongly with the release of the film Amelia Lòpes O'Neill (1992), which also met with some success. Since then, Amelia has continued to grow, from 236 births in 2000 to 743 in 2017, its peak year.

In the United States as well, Amelia wasn’t a very popular name until the beginning of the 2000s. For nearly a century, this name was given to hundred of little girls each year without really standing out from other names. Since the beginning of the 21st century, Amelia is in constant progress, going from 1,531 births in 2000 to 12,310 in 2018.

Personalities of the Amelia

Amelia is a mysterious and enigmatic woman who often has difficulty controlling her emotions. This sometimes triggers nerve attacks or even major depression. Lonely at heart, Amelia tends to want to solve her problems on her own, without accepting the help offered by those around her. Dreamer and idealist, she often lives in the clouds and prefers to imagine her life rather than live it to the full. However, this marginalization works in her favour, particularly in the professional field. Originality and creativity are the key words of her thinking. She thinks differently from others and is not afraid to come up with crazy ideas. In her personal life, Amelia shows herself as a calm, responsible and loyal person. She will always be there to support her loved ones in difficult times and will not hesitate to make radical decisions for their own good.
