Emilia Forename Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
A female name. f. of Latin Aemilius, the name of a plebeian gens. Boccaccio’s use of Emilia for the heroine of his Teseide helped to bring the name into use in the later Middle Ages, and Chaucer in his Knight’s Tale englished it as Emelye. In Feudal Aids (Heref) 1316 there occurs Emulea la Prys, which may be this name, and Emerlee, is found in 1694. But it was not much used before the 18th C; George II’s d. Princess Amelia was usually called Princess Emily, and it was probably as a supposed equivalent of Amelia (q.v.) that Emily came into general use in the 19th C.
— The Oxford Dictionary of Christian Names (1947) by E. G. Withycombe
F. Connected, I believe, with Emile, q. v., rather than with Teutonic amal, ‘work,’ or Greek αιμυλος, ‘crafty,’ ‘flattering,’ or ‘witty’.
