Emillie: 41 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 9 births in 2013.
Derived from the Roman family name Aemilius, Emillie is a French-influenced spelling variant of Emily, which ultimately comes from the Latin *aemulus* meaning "rival" or "imitator." This graceful form carries the same soft, feminine elegance as its more common counterparts. The most famous bearer was Emily Brontë, the reclusive genius whose novel *Wuthering Heights* remains a masterpiece of English literature. In a different realm, aviation pioneer Amelia Earhart shares the same root name—Emillie's sister forms Emily and Amelia have both inspired admiration. The Scottish place name Embo links to an unrelated Gaelic root, making no direct connection here. Emillie remains a rare, elegant choice in Scotland, occasionally chosen for its distinctive French twist on a classic.
