Шаблон:Infobox given name Emilia is a feminine Italian given name of Latin origin. The name is popular all over Europe and the Americas. The corresponding masculine name is Emilio. Emily is the English form of the Italian name.

Etymology

The name is derived from Aemilia, the feminine form of the Latin nomen Aemilius. It is likely derived from the same root as the Latin word aemulus, which means to rival, excel, or emulate,[1] but this may be a folk etymology.

Although similar Germanic names like Amalia may appear to be related to Emilia, Emily and Aemilia, they in fact have a different origin. In Greek, it is often written in the form "Αιμιλία" cognate to the Balkan Mountains of Haemus "Αίμος" and the ancient and modern greek word for blood "Αίμα".

Popularity

Шаблон:As of, records indicate that more than 13,500 girls in the United States have been named Emilia since 1880, with numbers increasing markedly from the year 2000.[2]
