Emma-Rose

Girl name · 3 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Emma-Rose: 3 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 3 births in 2018.

The first name Emma-Rose is a modern hyphenated combination, pairing Emma, from the Old German word for "whole" or "universal," with Rose, a Latin name for the fragrant flower. While no single globally famous Emma-Rose stands out, bearers include Scottish singer Emma-Rose Barr, and the name benefits from the legacies of its components – think of actress Emma Watson or Rose Leslie, known for her Scottish heritage in *Outlander*. Place connections are more indirect: the River Rose in Germany shares the floral root, and the Scottish town of Rosewell echoes the floral tradition. A notable cultural note: Emma-Rose has grown consistently in popularity across Scotland since the 1990s, reflecting a broader love for double-barrelled names that balance strength and grace.
