Emilia✳

Emilia is a feminine form of the Roman name Aemilius, traditionally associated with the Latin word for rival. It shares a name family with Emily, while the similar-sounding Amelia comes from a different root.

English speakers commonly use ih-MEE-lee-uh, though other languages have their own pronunciations. Em, Emmy and Millie are possible shorter forms if parents want an informal alternative to the full name.
