Girl name · 85 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Emily-Rose: 85 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 12 births in 2016.

Emily-Rose is a modern compound name pairing the enduring classic Emily with the floral Rose. Emily derives from the Latin name Aemilia, meaning "rival" or "industrious," while Rose comes from the Latin Rosa, symbolising the beloved flower. Notable Emilys include the fiercely intelligent Emily Brontë, author of *Wuthering Heights*, and Emily Wilding Davison, the militant suffragette. The name Rose shares its root with the rose itself, a timeless emblem of love and beauty. As a double-barrelled name, Emily-Rose is particularly popular in Scotland, reflecting a trend for hyphenated choices that blend tradition with charm. It offers the flexibility of nicknames like Emmie or Rosie, giving a child several warm and friendly options.
