Re: Fake Etymology
Yeah, but as I understood it, no one was arguing Emma Lee / Emily / Amalie / Ama Li / أملي come from the same source. They were just saying their source for "Emmalee" was أملي (my hope), which is like saying the source for Naomi is נָעֳמִי (pleasantness); English speakers usually don't pronounce that exactly like it's said in Hebrew either. So Anneza's explanation didn't make sense to me.
