Emilia
Emilia is a feminine given name . Name variants are Aemilia , Amelia and Amalia .
Origin and meaning
Emilia is a Romance feminine form of Emilio , originally as Aemilia (also Aemiliana) the feminine form of the Latin noun gentile Aemilius. The Aemilians were one of the five most important patrician families of ancient Rome . The name therefore means "coming from the Aemilians", which in turn is probably derived from the Latin aemulus "rival, competitor", hence also the "zealous" or the "ambitious".
In Germany, numerous girls have only been named Emilia again since 1998.
