Amelia is not mentioned in the Quran or any Islamic sources. Arabic references online say it is a Latin word.
The closest Islamic name is Amal, which means hope.
Since Amelia has a good meaning, it is acceptable for Muslims to use, even if it is not from Arabic or Islamic sources.

Amelia is a very nice baby girls name but it depends because the name means beautiful in some websites but it is not a indirect Muslim name.

My daughter’s name is Amelia, from it origin and meaning there is no harm to call your baby Amelia, Rasulillah has advised Ummah to avoid calling their children names with no good meaning since bad names affect our children directly.

All the sahabas were none Muslim before they accepted Islam Alhamdolilah. The Prophet Muhammed pbuh didn’t tell them to change their names, this means they had non Islamic names , but it does not matter as long as it has a nice meaning.

As if you guys might know hazrat Omer never changed his name, so there is no such thing as Islamic name it might be Arabic name, Indian name or English. I also named my daughter Amelia and it’s a beautiful name
