Amulya meaning
Amulya (अमूल्या) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin. By its first sound, अ, it is a Mesh rashi name (Krittika nakshatra) in the North Indian table.
Invaluable, priceless
Amulya (अमूल्या) comes from Sanskrit amūlya, which Monier-Williams defines as invaluable or priceless. It joins a-, "without", to mūlya, "price" or "value", the word behind Hindi mol, "price", and anmol, "priceless". Name lists give "priceless", exactly the dictionary sense. Today it is mostly given to girls, while in Bengal and Odisha it has long been used for boys as well.
