Amiliah

Meaning & origin

Amiliah is a modern invented name that first appeared in U.S. birth records in 2007, making it a very recent addition to the naming landscape. It reached its peak popularity in 2016, but has been falling in use since then. The name is extremely rare: in its peak year, it was given to fewer than 10 babies per million, and it has never ranked in the top 1,000. Its construction suggests a blend of the classic Amelia, which derives from the Germanic root for 'work', and the trendy suffix -iah seen in names like Aliyah. Amiliah's top states are not recorded, indicating that its usage is scattered rather than regionally concentrated. As a modern coinage, it lacks historical depth but fits a contemporary pattern of melodic, feminine names ending in -iah.
