MeaningA modern spelling that joins the Amalia/Amelia sound to the Hebrew-style ending -yah (a shortened form of the divine name used in many Hebrew names). Routes are uncertain.
Amalyah is a modern spelling rather than an inherited name. The body of it belongs to Amalia and Amelia - a Germanic root tied to work and effort - while the -yah ending follows a Hebrew naming pattern. Which route a family has in mind varies, and we note the uncertainty (said 'ah-mah-LEE-uh').
It appears only in very small numbers in the U.S. Rare, flowing, and modern.
Did you know? The -yah tail on Amalyah is the ending found in Hebrew names like Aliyah and Moriah, where it points to the divine name - here it is joined to the familiar Amalia sound.
