[oʊˈfiːliə]Meaning

Background Story
Ofelia is the Spanish and Italian form of Ophelia, a name probably derived from the Ancient Greek word ὠφέλεια (ōphéleia), meaning "benefit". The Italian form was coined by Jacopo Sannazaro from the Greek word for help, aid or succour, and the Spanish form was possibly borrowed from the Italian. The name is best known through the character in William Shakespeare's Hamlet.
