Jamelia
Meaning of Jamelia
Jamelia glides off the tongue like a secret melody, offering a fresh spin on the Arabic Jamila, which means “beautiful.” Thanks to its graceful –ia ending, it feels both familiar and refreshingly rare—peaking in the late ’80s and early ’90s before settling around the 900s in U.S. birth rankings today, so your little one can stand out without shouting for attention. Pop-culture buffs will smile at the nod to British R&B star Jamelia, whose early-2000s hits add a playful sparkle to the name’s story. Warm, melodic and subtly sophisticated, Jamelia strikes that sweet balance between timeless charm and modern flair—an irresistible choice for parents who want a name as unique and lovely as their daughter.
