Amalasanda is Germanic in Origin.

Amalasanda is a rare, likely modern revival built on the Gothic dynastic element Amal(a)-, from Proto-Germanic amalaz ‘work, vigor, industriousness,’ familiar via Amalia. The second half echoes the family of early Germanic feminine endings -sinda/-senta/-suntha found in late antique names; their semantics vary (often tied to strength or campaigns), so the composite suggests “industrious/strong woman of the Amal line.” The spelling may also be influenced by Sanda, a South Slavic and Romanian short form of Alexandra.

Usage clusters around related forms rather than this exact spelling. The 6th-century Ostrogothic queen Amalasuntha (Latin Amalasuntha/Amalasontha) anchors the tradition, with Romance and medieval variants such as Amalasinda, Amalasenda, Amalasunta, and Amalasonte. Modern diminutives or short forms include Amala, Mala, and Sanda. Amalasanda itself remains extremely uncommon, appearing mainly as a contemporary learned variant or creative blend that preserves the Germanic Amal- heritage.
