How Arabic Wikipedia spells Amelia

We looked up the Arabic Wikipedia articles of four well-known people called Amelia. Their titles write the name as أميليا four times. Our name tool gives أميليا, the spelling of Amelia Earhart's article.

Why أميليا is spelled this way

Amelia is spelled by its sound, and Arabic has no letter for some English sounds, so each choice below follows a rule. أميليا starts with the letter أ, alif with hamza above. One letter, أ alif with hamza above, never joins the letter after it, so أميليا always shows one small gap.

• The opening short a is an alif with hamza above, أ, the usual start of a name that begins with a short a.
• The long ee is yāʾ, ي, and the -lia at the end is lām, yāʾ and alif, ليا.
• Arabic Wikipedia writes all four Amelias in the table above the same way, أميليا.
