History & Origin

Ofilia is a spelling of Ofelia, the Spanish and Italian form of Ophelia, from the Greek ophelia, 'help' or 'benefit'. The name gained lasting fame through Shakespeare's Hamlet, and its Spanish forms carried it into Hispanic American families, where Ofilia appears as a gentle variant.

It was always rare, given to only about twenty girls a year around its 1929 peak, and it stayed a modest heritage choice. A woman named Ofilia would be of great-grandparent age now, and the name reads as a vintage variant of a literary classic.

Did you know? Ophelia is best known as the tragic young woman in Shakespeare's Hamlet, and Spanish-speaking families adopted the softer Ofelia, from which spellings like Ofilia grew.
