Emmiline Origin and Meaning

The name Emmiline is a girl's name.

Emmiline is a variant spelling of Emmeline, a feminine name derived from the Germanic elements 'amal' meaning 'work' or 'labor' and 'lind' meaning 'soft, tender, or gentle.' This spelling with double 'm' and a single 'i' gives the name a slightly different visual appearance while maintaining the traditional pronunciation. Emmiline shares historical connections with Amelia and Emily, all stemming from the same Germanic root. The name gained some recognition through Emmeline Pankhurst, the British suffragette, giving it associations with strength and determination. Despite its noble history, this particular spelling remains uncommon, making it a distinctive choice with the familiar nickname options Emmy or Emma.
