Amalie

a-MAHL-ya or AM-ah-lee

Danish, Norwegian, and German form of Amalia or Amelia

"work"

Amalie Origin and Meaning

The name Amalie is a girl's name of German, Danish, Norwegian origin meaning "work".

Popular in Norway and Denmark, but familiar across Europe, Amalie can be pronounced as a-MAHL-yah, much like sister Amalia. A variation of Amelia, it shares the same Germanic element, amal meaning "vigorous, unceasing, work".

In the US, where Amalie is most familiar as the name of the capital city of the US Virgin Islands, it may be pronounced like Emily, with an Am- sound at the beginning, or like Amalia with the final '-a' dropped, so uh-MAH-lee.

Pretty and bright but totally grounded Amalie could make a classic choice with a small twist. An added bonus is that it was given to just under 40 girls in the US last year, making it recognizable but considerably less popular than other members of the Amelia family.
