Amélie is a French feminine given name, derived from the Germanic element "Amal", meaning "work". It is often associated with the charming character played by Audrey Tautou in the 2001 film "Amélie" directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet. The name gained international popularity following the release of the movie, which depicted a whimsical and imaginative young woman navigating through life in Paris.
Amilie is quite rare, with only 5 newborns sharing the name each year since its first appearance in 2009.
