Origin
Meaning and history of Emilyelizabeth
The name Emilyelizabeth is a combination of two separate names, Emily and Elizabeth, both of which have rich histories and origins.
Emily is an English feminine name derived from the French name Amélie, which itself is derived from the Germanic name Amalberga. Amalberga is composed of the Germanic elements "amal" meaning "work" and "berga" meaning "bright" or "protection." The name Emily first appeared in the 12th century as a variant of the French name Amelie. Over time, it became a popular name in English-speaking countries, particularly in the 19th century. One of the earliest recorded bearers of the name Emily was Emily de Fortibus, an English noblewoman who lived in the 13th century.
Elizabeth, on the other hand, is a biblical name derived from the Hebrew name Elisheva, which means "God is my oath" or "God is abundance." The name first appeared in the Old Testament as the name of the wife of Aaron, the brother of Moses. It later gained popularity due to the New Testament character of Elizabeth, the mother of John the Baptist. Throughout history, there have been many famous bearers of the name Elizabeth, including Queen Elizabeth I of England (1533-1603) and Elizabeth I of Russia (1709-1762).
While the combination of Emily and Elizabeth into the name Emilyelizabeth is relatively rare, there are a few notable historical figures who have borne this name. One such figure is Emilyelizabeth Hay, an 18th-century English writer and translator who lived from 1734 to 1798. Another is Emilyelizabeth Fergusson, a 19th-century Scottish poet and novelist who lived from 1820 to 1890.
In the realm of literature, the name Emilyelizabeth appears in Jane Austen's novel "Emma," where one of the characters is named Mrs. Emilyelizabeth Churchill. Additionally, in the 19th-century novel "Middlemarch" by George Eliot, there is a character named Emilyelizabeth Lydia Janes.

FAQ
Emilyelizabeth: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Emilyelizabeth?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 45 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Emilyelizabeth 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 7,616,763 US residents.

We classify Emilyelizabeth as "Very Rare". It ranks above 52.7% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 46 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Emilyelizabeth most popular?
The single biggest year for Emilyelizabeth was 2005, when 13 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Emilyelizabeth is about 19 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 Emilyelizabeth in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Emilyelizabeth a female name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Emilyelizabeth 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 Emilyelizabeth still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Emilyelizabeth 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 Emilyelizabeth 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.
