Amilie is a delicate feminine name that appears as a variant spelling of Amélie, the French form of Amelia. Originating from Germanic roots meaning 'work' or 'industrious,' the name carries a sense of gentle determination. This particular spelling combines the French aesthetic with a simplified, anglicized approach to the accent mark. Amilie conveys the romantic, whimsical qualities associated with French names while remaining accessible to English speakers.
