Talk:Amelia (given name)

Who will ever find Un Ballo in Maschera here? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Wetman (talk • contribs).


 * Good question. Why on earth is this here? We already have Un Ballo in Maschera. I've never heard it called Amelia before. Looks like a merge is in order. --Camembert


 * OK, I've removed the stuff on the opera, which hasn't left much here. If Ballo is ever called Amelia (I don't think it is), then we can point to the article on it from here, but otherwise, I think that's it. --Camembert

Emilia is not "spanish for Amelia" is spanish for Emily. Emilia and Amelia are two distinct names in Spanish. I am from Spain and in my family we have several Emilias and at least one Amelia. Plus the latin "ae" converts in spanish as "e" so Aemilia in spanish is Emilia, and since in the article says Aemilia translates into english as Emily, I think the consequence is obvius. I'm changing it.80.30.123.136 (talk) 13:25, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

Howdy, I undid a change in which somebody had said the origin of the name was "trouble". 1) that looks like an obvious prank and 2) I actually googled around to see if there were any additional meanings and none of them were different from what's on here let alone sounded close to "trouble" safe edit I hope, but it's been like 4 years since I've edited Wikipedia so I thought I'd leave a note here in case anybody had questions for me. --hendrixski

The article said:
 * German word amal meaning work

There is no such German word. Name collection authors brainlessly copy this from each other without checking facts. Unfortunately happens all the time in various areas. - Altenmann >talk 16:28, 28 May 2024 (UTC)


 * It is said to be a Germanic word element rather than a modern German word. == Bookworm857158367 (talk) 13:54, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
