Pamelia is an English name, likely an elaborated variant of Pamela, coined or popularized in the 16th or 17th century, though its precise origin is debated. Pamela itself is generally traced to Greek roots, possibly meaning all honey, from pan (all) and meli (honey), and was famously invented or first recorded by the poet Sir Philip Sidney in his 16th-century pastoral romance Arcadia. Pamelia follows the same Latinate elaboration pattern seen in similar feminine names of the period. Related forms include Pamela, Pammelia, and the shortened Pam.
