[Facts] Amalia
I would like to now more about the origin and history of the name Amalia. I think this
name became popular in Germany after the duchess of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach, Anna Amalia, the patron of Goethe and Schiller, but I found little quality information about the name.Is this name of German or Latin origin? Or is Amalia a latinized german name?
According to the Albaigués spanish diccionary of names, Amalia has greek or german roots but I would like to know if someone has clearer information about its history or usage.
Has Amalia something in common with the name Amelia (Amélie in french)?
I would be very thankful for any help or further information.
