Origin
Meaning and history of Aimilios
The name Aimilios has its roots in ancient Greek culture, originating from the word "aimylos," which means "cunning" or "wily." This name first gained prominence during the classical period of ancient Greece, around the 5th century BCE.
One of the earliest known references to the name Aimilios can be found in Plutarch's "Parallel Lives," a collection of biographies of famous Greeks and Romans from the 1st century CE. Plutarch mentions an Aimilios who was a skilled orator and statesman from the island of Rhodes.
In the Byzantine era, spanning from the 4th to the 15th century CE, the name Aimilios was associated with several notable figures. One such figure was Aimilios Choubnos, a prominent scholar and theologian who lived in the 14th century and was known for his treatises on various philosophical and theological topics.
During the Renaissance period, the name Aimilios gained popularity in Italy, where it was often spelled as "Emilio." One famous bearer of this name was Emilio de' Cavalieri, an Italian composer and inventor who lived from 1550 to 1602. He is credited with composing one of the earliest operas, "Rappresentatione di Anima e di Corpo," in 1600.
Another notable figure with the name Aimilios was Aimilios Ralli, a Greek businessman and philanthropist who lived from 1854 to 1921. He amassed a significant fortune through his successful shipping and banking ventures and donated generously to various educational and cultural institutions in Greece.
In more recent times, the name Aimilios has been associated with Aimilios Christodoulou, a Cypriot writer and poet who lived from 1918 to 1987. He was a prominent figure in the Cypriot literary scene and played a significant role in promoting the island's culture and heritage through his works.
While the name Aimilios has Greek origins, it has been adopted and adapted by various cultures throughout history, with slight variations in spelling and pronunciation. Despite its ancient roots, the name continues to be used in modern times, albeit less commonly than in the past.

FAQ
Aimilios: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Aimilios?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 11 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Aimilios going back to 1880 and adjusting each cohort for expected survival using CDC actuarial life tables. The result is an age-weighted living-bearer count, not a raw birth total. That works out to about 1 in 31,159,485 US residents.
Is Aimilios a common name?
We classify Aimilios as "Very Rare". It ranks above 30.8% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 11 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Aimilios most popular?
The single biggest year for Aimilios was 2023, when 6 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Aimilios is about 3 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
What does the SSA popularity chart show?
The chart tracks births, not the number of people alive with the name today. Each point shows how many babies were given the name Aimilios in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Aimilios a male name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Aimilios in the SSA data are male. You can see the full per-sex comparison in the gender distribution section above, which includes the latest year rank, birth count, and peak year for each sex.
Is Aimilios still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Aimilios in 2024, and the page above shows its latest-year rank where available. A name can be well past its peak and still remain in steady use, especially if it built up a large population over earlier decades.
Why can a name have a lot of living bearers even if it is not trendy now?
Because living-bearer counts and current baby-name popularity measure different things. A name like Aimilios can build up a very large population over many decades, even if fewer parents are choosing it now than they did at its peak.
Where does this data come from?
First-name figures come from the Social Security Administration's national baby name files, which cover every name on a birth certificate from 1880 to 2024. Living-bearer estimates layer in CDC actuarial life tables broken out by sex to account for mortality. The population baseline (342,754,338) is the Census Bureau's latest national estimate. You can read the full calculation on our methodology page.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only covers names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files do not have a published Census demographic snapshot. In those cases, the page still shows the SSA trend, gender history, and state data.
