Emma: A name of ancient Germanic origin, meaning 'universal' or 'whole'. It entered the English language via Old French, introduced by the Normans after their conquest of England in 1066. Emma was a popular choice among royalty in medieval times; notable bearers include Queen consort Emma of Normandy (married to King Æthelred the Unready), and Saint Emma of Veszprém, founder of the Benedictine Order in Hungary.
The name Female has seen a dramatic rise and fall in popularity over the years. With only five births in the first year tracked (1981), it seems like an unusual choice at that time. However, by 1987, there was a significant spike with 32 births, indicating a growing preference for the name. The peak occurred in 1990 with 157 births, followed by another high of 149 births in 1991. Interestingly, after 1996, the popularity of the name Female began to decline steadily, reaching an all-time low in recent years with only 13 births recorded in 2015. Overall, over the span of these 35 years, there have been a total of 1292 births named Female.
