Amela is the Bosnian feminine form of Amel — from the Arabic root meaning "hope" or "hard work, striving." Used widely in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Amela is among the most popular girls' names in Bosnia.
Amela 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 Amela reduce to 5, The Seeker. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
