Name Meaning
A blend of two medieval names: Emilia (which is of Latin origin: see Emily ) and the Latinized Germanic Amalia . Henry Fielding is sometimes credited with having coined it for the heroine of his novel Amelia ( 1751 ), but forms such as Meelia, Amaly and Aemelia occur from the 17th century onwards.
