Encourage your daughter to be a dreamer with the Arabic, Hebrew, and Sanskrit name Amala. Meaning "hope" in Arabic, baby will know it's okay to embrace their wishful nature and always dream of something better. This name is doubly meaningful because you'll have hoped for Amala's safe arrival into your life and what better way is there to welcome the newest addition to your family than with a reminder that they were what you were dreaming of? With its Hebrew variant Amal, this name commonly means “worker,” nodding to baby’s resilience, determination, and diligence. Amala has roots in Sanskrit too, where its meanings of "clean," "pure," and “stainless” can emphasize the importance of following their gut instinct to do what's right.
