Amelda Origin and Meaning

The name Amelda is a girl's name.

Amelda is a feminine name that likely developed as a variant of Amelia or Imelda. If derived from Amelia, it shares the Germanic root 'amal' meaning 'work' or 'industrious'. If connected to Imelda, it comes from the Germanic elements 'ermen' (universal) and 'hild' (battle). This uncommon name has appeared sporadically throughout Europe and English-speaking countries without achieving widespread popularity. Amelda has a vintage, slightly ornate quality that evokes the early 20th century. The name carries a distinctive melody with its three syllables and soft ending, appealing to parents seeking something familiar-sounding yet uncommon, with a touch of antique elegance.
