Meaning & origin
Amulya is a Sanskrit name meaning 'priceless' or 'invaluable,' reflecting a deep cultural appreciation for intrinsic worth. It first appeared in U.S. Social Security records in 1995, a relatively recent addition to the American name landscape. The name reached its peak popularity in 2007, after which its usage has been gradually declining. As of 2025, Amulya ranks 11,932, with roughly 1 in 229,610 newborn girls receiving the name that year. Despite its rarity, the name has been used consistently enough to show a clear trajectory: a rise during the 2000s followed by a steady fall. While no single state has a notable concentration of Amulyas, the name is most common among families of South Asian heritage. Its elegant sound and meaningful etymology make it a distinctive choice that honors cultural roots.
Amulya is a Sanskrit feminine name derived from 'amūlya' (अमूल्य), meaning 'priceless' or 'invaluable.' The name has been used in India for many years, particularly among Hindu families, and has gained modest popularity in the United States since the late 1990s.
