Chameliah is in Origin.

Chameliah is a modern, multi-origin given name. Often seen as a creative blend of Camellia (the flower name from the tea-plant genus, ultimately honoring botanist Georg Kamel) and Amelia (from the Germanic root amal "work, vigor"), it also echoes Chameli, the Hindi-Urdu word for jasmine. The -iah ending lends a Biblical cadence and invites comparisons to Leah or Nehemiah, though Chameliah is not a classical Hebrew form. Common interpretations therefore include "flower/camellia blossom," and, by the Amelia link, "industrious; striving."

Documented usage is very rare and contemporary, appearing sporadically in 21st-century English-speaking communities and baby-name forums. Spelling variants include Chamelia and Chameliah; related forms are Camelia/Camellia and Chameli. Short forms: Cami, Millie, Melia, Lia, Miah. Related names across languages include Jamila/Jamilah and Kamila/Camila - etymologically distinct but sharing sound patterns. Chameliah suits parents seeking a floral yet distinctive choice with familiar nicknames.
