Amelia vs Kamelia
Amelia and Kameliacompared on official birth-registration statistics and Namewise's recorded data. This page states what each name's record shows — it never picks a winner or scores one name against the other.
Head to head
Ranks are only compared within one published list and one year. Two ranks from different years, from a boys' and a girls' list, or from different registrars are not comparable, so they are not placed side by side.
England and Wales · Girls
In 2024, Amelia was ranked #2 and Kamelia #2771 among girls in England and Wales.
Amelia and Kamelia over time
Amelia and Kamelia appear together in 1 published list, across 11 years of shared records. Amelia held the stronger position in more years in 1 of them, Kamelia in 0.
In none of those lists did their order change and stay changed.
Amelia reached its own highest recorded position earlier in 1 of those lists, and Kamelia in none. Each position is a place inside its own list, so this compares when they peaked and never how high.
Counted list by list. Two names in the same published list are measured on the same scale in the same year, so those comparisons are real — but positions from different lists are not, so nothing here is combined into an overall standing.

Two names moving past each other in a ranking is a fact about the ranking. Namewise does not claim one name displaced the other, that families chose between them, or that either influenced the other — none of that is in this data.
