Emilian

With the new trend of boys' names rising on the heels of their popular sisters, the unusual-yet-familiar-feeling Emilian might become better known thanks to its relationship to Emily and Emilia/Amelia. Rather than being two branches of the same tree, Emilian and Emily are actually one tree while Emmett and Emma hang on a whole separate tree. But all have a lot of modern appeal, and Emilian may be a more attractive and intriguing option.

Emilian was borne by a 5th- and 6th-century saint, the patron saint of Castile and La Rioja in Spain.

Pronounced eh-MIL-yahn.

As of October 2026, Emilian ranked #5086 for boys in US births in 2025 SSA.
