History and Origin
Emily is a feminine name derived from the Roman feminine name Aemilia. The Latin name Aemilia in turn may derive from the Latin word aemulus (or from the same root as aemulus), meaning "rival", but this may be a folk etymology.
English: from a medieval form of the Latin name Aemilia, the feminine version of the old Roman family name Aemilius (probably from aemulus rival). It was not common in the Middle Ages, and when it was revived in the 19th century there was much confusion between the originally distinct Amelia and the Latinate form of this name, Emilia.
Cognates: French: Émilie. German: Emilie.
