Amalia is a female given name. It is a cross-cultural name found all over the world.
It is derived from the Germanic word amal meaning "work, activity", specifically the woman's name Amalberga. Its popularity is attributed to the Belgian Saint Amalberga of Maubeuge. The origins of the name Amalia have often been erroneously associated with those of Emilia and Emily, both of which in fact originate from the Latin nomen Aemilia. In Greece, the name is celebrated on 10 July in honour of Saint Amalia.
Amalia name was popular among early Zionist pioneers. Amalia name has several variants, including Amelia in English, Amélie in French, Amalie in German, and Amalka, a diminutive form of the name used in Slavic languages.
Amalia is a 19th-century political novel written by the exiled Argentine author José Marmol. First published serially in the Montevideo weekly, Amalia (1851) became Argentina's national novel. Along with Domingo Faustino Sarmiento's Facundo, Amalia can be seen as an early precursor to the Latin American dictator novel through its strong criticism of caudillo Juan Manuel de Rosas, who ruled Argentina with a strong fist from 1829 to 1852.
Set in post-colonial Buenos Aires, Amalia was written in two parts and is a semi-autobiographical account of José Mármol that deals with living in Rosas's police state. Mármol's novel was important as it showed how the human consciousness, much like a city or even a country, could become a terrifying prison. Amalia also attempted to examine the problem of dictatorships as being one of structure, and therefore the problem of the state "manifested through the will of some monstrous personage violating the ordinary individual's privacy, both of home and of consciousness."
Amália is a 2008 Portuguese biographical film directed by Carlos Coelho da Silva and starring Sandra Barata, Carla Chambel and José Fidalgo.
