Portman and French choreographer Millepied, 39, are already parents to 5-year-old Aleph. They were married in 2012.

Amalia, pronounced ah-MAH-lee-a, comes from the Germanic amal that means ‘work’ or ‘activity.’  The Israeli-born actress may have chosen it because it is also a Hebrew name that means ‘work of God.’

The star made her baby bump debut in September at the Venice Film Festival while promoting her movies Planetarium and Jackie.

Although she attended the Golden Globes and Screen Actors Guild Awards while expecting, Portman skipped the Oscars ceremony on Sunday due to her delivery.
