History & Origin
Armelia looks like a variant of Amelia, from the Germanic amal, work, perhaps crossed with Armella. It appeared for American girls only faintly, around 1927, when ornate -elia names were in fashion.
It was never common, given to only about twenty girls a year at most. A girl named Armelia then would be a great-grandmother now. Soft and flowing, it fits with the wider revival of -elia names but has not itself come back.
