What is the meaning of the name Amalei ?

The baby name Amalei is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced ah-MAH-lay (əˈmæleɪ),ah-MAH-lee (əˈmæli).

Amalei is Germanic in Origin.

Amalei is a contemporary spelling variant in the Amalia/Amalie/Amelie family of names, all tracing back to the Germanic element amal, meaning "work, vigor, industriousness," associated with the Ostrogothic Amal dynasty. The form entered Latin as Amalia and spread widely through Central and Western Europe via noble bearers and saints; by the 18th-19th centuries, the English form Amelia became fashionable and remains common. Amelie gained fresh visibility in French and international culture in the early 2000s.

Variants include Amalia (Italian, Spanish, Polish), Amalie (German, Danish, Norwegian), Amelie (French), Amelia (English), and the modern Amalya. Diminutives and short forms range from Ama, Mali/Mally, and Millie to Lia and Mia. Amalei preserves the core meaning of "industrious" or "eager to work," while offering a distinctive, cross-lingual look that bridges Amalie and Amelie.
