Amalburga is Germanic in Origin.

Amalburga is a rare Germanic dithematic name built from the elements amal- “work, vigor” and -burg/-burga “fortress, protection,” yielding meanings such as “industrious protector” or “strength through work.” It belongs to the same Amal- family as Amalia and Amalric, popular among early Germanic and Frankish elites, and reflects the Amali heritage of names emphasizing energy, diligence, and steadfast defense.

Medieval usage clusters in the Low Countries and northern France, notably borne by two early saints known in Latin as Amalberga/Amelberga, associated with Maubeuge and Temse/Ghent; their cults kept the name in regional calendars. Recorded variants include Amalberga, Amelberga, Amalberge, Amelberge, and the German form Amalburga; shortened forms like Amel are sometimes used. Today it remains uncommon, with modest revival interest among those seeking historical, saintly, and pan-Germanic roots.
