Emmilia is a charming and unique feminine given name of Latin origin, meaning 'rival' or 'to strive, to excel'. It is derived from the Roman family name Aemilius, which was thought to have been derived from the Latin word 'aemulus', meaning 'zealous' or 'ambitious'. The name Emmilia gained popularity during the Middle Ages due to its association with Saint Emilius, a legendary French bishop. However, it remains relatively uncommon today, making it an attractive choice for parents seeking a distinctive name for their daughter.
