Origin
Meaning and history of Emilygrace
The name Emilygrace is a modern combination of the names Emily and Grace. The name Emily originated from the Roman family name Aemilius, which is derived from the Latin word aemulus, meaning "rival". The earliest recorded use of Emily dates back to the 18th century, and it became a popular name in England during the reign of Queen Victoria.
The name Grace, on the other hand, is derived from the Latin word gratia, meaning "favor" or "thanks". It was originally used as a virtue name in the Christian tradition, representing the concept of divine grace. The name Grace has been in use since the Middle Ages and gained popularity in the 16th and 17th centuries.
While the combination of Emily and Grace as Emilygrace is a more recent development, both names have a rich history and have been borne by notable individuals throughout the centuries. Some famous people named Emily include Emily Dickinson (1830-1886), an influential American poet; Emily Brontë (1818-1848), the English novelist who wrote Wuthering Heights; and Emily Carr (1871-1945), a renowned Canadian artist.
As for the name Grace, notable bearers include Grace Kelly (1929-1982), the American actress who became Princess of Monaco; Grace Hopper (1906-1992), a pioneering computer scientist in the United States Navy; and Grace Mugabe (born 1965), the controversial former First Lady of Zimbabwe.
The name Emilygrace itself has not been widely documented in historical records, but it carries the combined meanings and legacies of its two components – the rivalry and determination associated with Emily, and the divine favor and gratitude represented by Grace.

FAQ
Emilygrace: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Emilygrace?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 96 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Emilygrace 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 3,570,358 US residents.
Is Emilygrace a common name?
We classify Emilygrace as "Very Rare". It ranks above 64% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 97 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Emilygrace most popular?
The single biggest year for Emilygrace was 2006, when 15 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Emilygrace is about 16 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 Emilygrace in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Emilygrace a female name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Emilygrace 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 Emilygrace still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Emilygrace 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 Emilygrace 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.
