Origin
Meaning and history of Emilymarie
The name Emilymarie is a combination of two distinct names with separate origins and histories. Emily is an English feminine name derived from the Latin name Aemilia, which originated as the feminine form of the Roman family name Aemilius. The Aemilii were an ancient patrician family in Rome, and the name is thought to be connected to the Latin word "aemulus," meaning "rival" or "striving."
The name Emily gained popularity in England during the Middle Ages and was further embraced during the Protestant Reformation, as it was seen as a suitable Christian name. One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Emily can be found in the Domesday Book of 1086, where it appears as "Amilie." Notable historical figures named Emily include Emily Dickinson (1830-1886), the renowned American poet, and Emily Brontë (1818-1848), the English novelist and author of "Wuthering Heights."
Marie, on the other hand, is a French feminine name derived from the biblical name Mary, which has its roots in the Hebrew name Miryam or Mariam. The name Marie gained widespread popularity in France during the Middle Ages and has been a common name among French royalty and nobility. One of the most famous historical figures bearing the name Marie is Marie Antoinette (1755-1793), the last Queen of France before the French Revolution.
The combination of Emily and Marie into the name Emilymarie is relatively modern and does not appear to have a significant historical precedent. However, it reflects the practice of combining names, which has been common in various cultures throughout history. Some notable historical figures who bore combined names include Eleanor of Aquitaine (1122-1204), a powerful medieval figure who was Queen of France and later Queen of England, and Mary Stuart (1542-1587), better known as Mary, Queen of Scots.
While the name Emilymarie may not have a rich historical lineage, it carries the combined meanings and cultural influences of its individual components, Emily and Marie. The name Emily represents a connection to ancient Roman roots and a long-standing tradition in English-speaking cultures, while Marie reflects the French cultural heritage and the significance of the name Mary in Christian tradition.

FAQ
Emilymarie: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Emilymarie?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 51 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Emilymarie 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 6,720,673 US residents.
Is Emilymarie a common name?
We classify Emilymarie as "Very Rare". It ranks above 54.6% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 52 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Emilymarie most popular?
The single biggest year for Emilymarie was 2003, when 9 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Emilymarie is about 21 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 Emilymarie in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Emilymarie a female name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Emilymarie 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 Emilymarie still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Emilymarie 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 Emilymarie 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.
