Origin
Meaning and history of Emillion
The name Emillion has its origins in the ancient Semitic languages of the Middle East, dating back to around the 5th century BCE. It is derived from the root word "emil," which means "to strive" or "to persevere." The addition of the suffix "-ion" transforms the word into a name, signifying someone who strives or perseveres.
One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Emillion can be found in the ancient Aramaic texts of the Persian Empire. It is believed that a prominent scholar and philosopher during the reign of Darius I (550-486 BCE) bore this name. Unfortunately, very few details about his life and works have survived to the present day.
In the 3rd century CE, a Christian martyr named Emillion was recorded in the annals of the early Church. He was said to have faced persecution and execution for his unwavering faith during the reign of the Roman Emperor Decius. The story of his martyrdom inspired many early Christians and contributed to the spread of the name among the faithful.
During the Middle Ages, the name Emillion gained popularity in various parts of Europe, particularly in the regions heavily influenced by the Crusades and the influx of Semitic culture and language. One notable figure from this period was Emillion of Trier, a German monk and scholar who lived in the 11th century. He was renowned for his extensive knowledge of classical literature and his contributions to the preservation of ancient texts.
In the Renaissance era, the name Emillion was associated with several influential figures in the arts and sciences. One such individual was Emillion Alberti, an Italian architect and writer who lived from 1404 to 1472. He was a pioneer of Renaissance architecture and is credited with designing several iconic buildings in Florence, including the Rucellai Palace and the facade of the Basilica of Santa Maria Novella.
Another notable bearer of the name was Emillion Descartes, a French philosopher, mathematician, and scientist who lived from 1596 to 1650. He is widely regarded as one of the most influential thinkers of the 17th century and is renowned for his philosophical works, such as "Meditations on First Philosophy" and "Discourse on the Method."
While the name Emillion has fallen out of widespread use in modern times, it remains a testament to the rich cultural heritage and historical significance of the Semitic languages and their influence on various civilizations throughout the ages.

FAQ
Emillion: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Emillion?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 5 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Emillion 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 68,550,868 US residents.
Is Emillion a common name?
We classify Emillion as "Very Rare". It ranks above 18.2% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 5 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Emillion most popular?
The single biggest year for Emillion was 2020, when 5 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Emillion is about 6 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 Emillion in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Emillion a male name?

Is Emillion still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Emillion 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 Emillion 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.
