Amalia is from the Old Germanic amal — "industrious, hardworking, vigorous." Catharina-Amalia, Princess of Orange (born 2003) — Crown Princess of the Netherlands and heir apparent to the Dutch throne since her father King Willem-Alexander's 2013 ascension. Began her studies at the University of Amsterdam in 2022; in 2023 she announced a leave from public life after credible threats from the Dutch organized crime syndicate Mocro Maffia — the first time a Dutch royal has gone into hiding for security reasons since World War II. Princess Amalia of Saxony (1794-1870) — Saxon princess, composer, dramatist; her operas were performed at the Dresden court. Verdi's I masnadieri (1847) has Amalia as the soprano lead — Verdi's first opera written for London. Saint Amalia of Schaerbeek (660-690) — Belgian saint. Amalia Ulman (born 1989) — Argentinian-American conceptual artist; her 2014 Instagram performance Excellences & Perfections was acquired by the Tate Modern.
Amalia 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 Amalia reduce to 1, The Leader. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
