Hopeful or industrious
Amelah is a rare name often considered a variant of the Arabic name Amala, meaning 'hope,' or the Germanic Amelia, meaning 'industrious.' It offers a softer, more phonetic spelling of traditional roots, appealing to parents seeking a unique but familiar sound. Its usage in the United States is extremely limited, making it a distinctive choice.
