Origin
Meaning and history of Emilyrose
The name Emilyrose is a compound given name combining the feminine name Emily with the word "rose". Emily has its origins in the ancient Roman family name Aemilius, which may derive from the Latin word "aemulus" meaning "rival". The rose component refers to the flower, which has long been a symbol of love, beauty, and femininity across various cultures.
Emilyrose as a single name is a relatively modern construction, likely emerging in English-speaking countries like the United States and United Kingdom in the late 20th century. It reflects the trend of combining traditional names with natural or floral elements to create unique and descriptive monikers.
While the full name Emilyrose has no direct historical references or appearances in ancient texts or religious scriptures, the component names Emily and rose have rich cultural histories. Emily has been in use as a given name since the Middle Ages, with notable bearers including Emily Dickinson (1830-1886), the renowned American poet, and Emily Brontë (1818-1848), the author of the literary classic "Wuthering Heights".
As for the word "rose", it has been celebrated in literature, art, and mythology for centuries. In ancient Greek mythology, the rose was associated with the goddess Aphrodite, while in Christianity, it is often linked to the Virgin Mary and the rosary. Famous bearers of the name Rose throughout history include Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy (1890-1995), the matriarch of the Kennedy family, and Rose Byrne (born 1979), the Australian actress known for her roles in films like "Bridesmaids" and "X-Men: Apocalypse".
Other notable individuals who have borne the name Emily or its variants include Emily Pauline Johnson (1861-1913), a renowned Canadian poet and writer, Emily Murphy (1868-1933), a Canadian women's rights activist and the first female magistrate in the British Empire, and Emily Davison (1872-1913), a British suffragette who tragically died after being struck by the King's horse at the Epsom Derby.

FAQ
Emilyrose: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Emilyrose?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 292 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Emilyrose 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 1,173,816 US residents.
Is Emilyrose a common name?
We classify Emilyrose as "Very Rare". It ranks above 78.9% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 296 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Emilyrose most popular?
The single biggest year for Emilyrose was 1999, when 15 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Emilyrose is about 17 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 Emilyrose in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Emilyrose a female name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Emilyrose 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 Emilyrose still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Emilyrose 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 Emilyrose 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.
