Amilia is a first name for girls.

Amilia is a well-known but special name!

Amilia is a well-known name in the US, but is still special. It is currently only given to every ten thousandth girl, and therefore ranks at 1,429 in the SmartGenius statistics. This means there are 1,428 girls names that are more common, but also tens of thousands that are much rarer.

Amilia -
ahead of the curve

In fact, the name Amilia did not fit the trend of the last century. Young parents in the 2000s began to change that a bit. After several years of not being given at all (or less than 5 times, because that's the number required for a name to appear in the statistics), Amilia seemed to be more popular than ever in 2018. Although the name never ranked higher than #1,159, 183 parents chose it that year, making it a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Amilia, you are well on your way to becoming en vogue.

In years where the graph has no value, the name Amilia was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
