Emillee Origin and Meaning

The name Emillee is a girl's name.

Emillee is a feminine name representing a creative spelling variation of Emily. The traditional Emily derives from the Latin 'Aemilia,' a feminine form of the Roman family name Aemilius, possibly meaning 'rival' or 'eager.' This particular spelling emerged in the late 20th century during the trend of adding unique letter combinations to traditional names. While the standard Emily has consistently ranked among popular girls' names for decades, Emillee remains a less common alternative. The double 'e' ending gives the name a distinctive look while maintaining the familiar pronunciation. Parents choosing this spelling often seek to combine the classic appeal of Emily with a more individualized presentation.
