Amalia peaked in 2023, when 576 babies got the name.
At least 16,478 babies have been given the name since 1880. Years SSA withheld, because fewer than 5 were born, are skipped rather than drawn as zero. * 2025 is the newest year published and it undercounts: a card application is filed some time after a birth.
Amalia by decade

Where Amalia is most common
Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Amalia has been most common in New Mexico (3.6×), Texas (2.9×), and Arizona (2.4×), and least common in Missouri (0.15×).
12,572 births recorded by state, 1910–2025. 2× means twice as common as nationally. States with fewer than 30 such births are left blank, and SSA withholds any year with fewer than 5 in a state, so small states read low.
