Has represented Yulia Tymoshenko (former Ukrainian PM), Julian Assange, Mohamed Nasheed (former Maldives president), Maria Ressa (Filipina Nobel Peace laureate), and Nadia Murad (Yazidi survivor of ISIS captivity and Nobel Peace laureate). Visiting professor at Columbia Law School. The Lebanese poet Amal Donqol (1940-1983) was male. Amal Hijazi — Lebanese pop star.
Subject of countless legal and human-rights profiles.
Amal does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.
In Pythagorean numerology the letters of Amal reduce to 9, The Giver. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
