History & Origin
Artelia appears in United States records from the early eighteen-eighties and peaks around 1917. It reads as an invented, ornamental name rather than a classical one, shaped by the fashionable -elia cadence of Cordelia and Cornelia; a link to Artie or to Ophelia is plausible but unproven. Names like it flourished in an age when parents built euphonious four-syllable names by ear. It was never widespread, given to only a couple dozen girls a year at most.
Last recorded in the nineteen-eighties, Artelia belongs to a great-grandmother cohort and has not resurfaced. Still, its rolling rhythm fits neatly among today's quietly reviving picks like Cordelia and Amelia for a parent wanting something with the same music but almost no namesakes.
