Amilya

Origin

The name Amilya is of uncertain origin, possibly a variant of the name Amelia, which derives from the Latin 'Amelia', itself a variation of 'Amal' meaning 'work' or 'industriousness' in Old Germanic languages.

01ori languages. The spelling and form suggest a modern or creative variation inspired by classical names.
