Emmelie

Emmelie is a feminine name that originated as a variant spelling of Amelia or Emily, both derived from Germanic roots meaning 'work' or 'industrious.' This charming variation has been particularly popular in Scandinavian countries and parts of Europe. Emmelie offers a slightly more distinctive alternative to the extremely popular Emily while maintaining its classic appeal. The name has a delicate, melodious quality with its soft consonants and flowing vowels. While not among the most common names in English-speaking countries, Emmelie has seen occasional usage, particularly as parents seek familiar names with unique spellings. The Swedish singer Emmelie de Forest, who won the Eurovision Song Contest in 2013, helped bring some international attention to this sweet variation.

Pronounced em-uh-LEE.

As of October 2026, Emmelie ranked #14303 in US births in 2008 SSA, peaked at #12625 in 2002.
