Emil is a male given name in many European languages.

origin

The first name corresponds to the Latin Aemilius , a family name ( noun gentile ). After antiquity, the name was lost and practically unknown. The name only became popular again after 1762 with the appearance of Émile ou De l'éducation , the educational novel by Jean-Jacques Rousseau . The work was a success all over Europe and led to the fact that the name in the French form - just as Emil - immediately spread widely in German.

Name days

• March 10th : Emil (Aemilianus, Aemilius) von Lagny, came to Gaul from Ireland around 640 as a messenger of faith to the Franconian Empire. In 633 he was elected abbot of the Lagny monastery near Paris.

• May 22nd : The legend tells of the Christian Emil (Aemilius) in the North African Carthage at the time of Emperor Decius (249–251) or Septimius Severus (193–211). When he and his friend Castus were tortured because of their Christianity, he denied his belief because he could no longer bear the pain and was released. But when he later professed Christianity again, he died at the stake. Cyprian of Carthage reported from Aemilius and Castus in his work De lapsis ( "From the fallen" ). According to another legend, Aemilius and Castus lived in Capua, Italy, and were tortured during the great persecution of Christians under Emperor Diocletian in 303 until they publicly renounced Christianity. When a second arrest was made shortly afterwards, however, the two young men stood firm and died at the stake for their beliefs.
