Origin and meaning of the name
Amalie or Amalia is a short form of the Old High German two-part Amal name, e.g. B. Amalberga , Amalfrieda , Amalgunde , Amalgard , Amalhilde , Amalinde , Amalswinta etc. The short form relates accordingly to the first part, the defining word, and is derived from the Gothic ruling family of the Amalers . The name of the ruling dynasty is derived from Old Norse “aml”, which means hard work, hard work, pushing ahead, pushing ahead. The meaning is therefore sometimes also abbreviated as “proficiency” in the literature.
