Origin
Meaning and history of Amilliana
The name Amilliana is a feminine given name with roots that can be traced back to ancient Latin and Greek origins. It is believed to be a combination of the Latin word "amillia," meaning "beloved," and the Greek word "ana," meaning "grace" or "favor." This suggests that the name Amilliana carries the meaning of "beloved grace" or "favored one."
In the early centuries, variations of this name, such as Amilia and Aemilia, were prevalent among the Roman aristocracy. It is recorded that a woman named Aemilia Lepida, who lived in the 1st century BC, was a prominent figure in the Roman Empire and a member of the influential Aemilia family.
During the Middle Ages, the name Amilliana gained popularity in certain regions of Europe, particularly in parts of Italy and France. Historical records from the 12th century mention an Italian noblewoman named Amilliana di Monferrato, who was known for her charitable works and patronage of the arts.
In the 14th century, a French poet and composer named Amilliana de Villars gained recognition for her contributions to the development of courtly love poetry. Her writings and compositions were widely celebrated during her lifetime and influenced the literary traditions of the era.
Another notable figure bearing this name was Amilliana Corsini, an Italian nun who lived in the 16th century. She was renowned for her piety and dedication to helping the poor and underprivileged. Amilliana Corsini was beatified by the Catholic Church in 1803, recognizing her virtuous life and service to others.
In the 18th century, Amilliana Desbordes-Valmore, a French poet and playwright, garnered acclaim for her lyrical works and her ability to capture the depths of human emotion. Her poems and plays were widely read and performed during her lifetime, and she is remembered as one of the most influential female writers of her era.
While the name Amilliana has its roots in ancient civilizations, it has remained a relatively uncommon name throughout history. However, its rich heritage and the notable individuals who have borne this name have contributed to its enduring appeal and the preservation of its unique meaning.

FAQ
Amilliana: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Amilliana?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 314 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Amilliana 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 1,091,574 US residents.
Is Amilliana a common name?
We classify Amilliana as "Very Rare". It ranks above 79.7% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 316 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Amilliana most popular?
The single biggest year for Amilliana was 2018, when 32 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Amilliana is about 10 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 Amilliana in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Amilliana a female name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Amilliana in the SSA data are female. 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 Amilliana still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Amilliana 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 Amilliana 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.
