Origin
Meaning and history of Emonii
The name Emonii is believed to have originated from the ancient Etruscan civilization, which flourished in what is now modern-day Italy. It is derived from the Etruscan word "emon," meaning "fortunate" or "blessed." The Etruscans were a culturally advanced society that predated the Roman Empire and had a significant influence on the development of ancient Roman civilization.
One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Emonii can be found in the Etruscan inscriptions discovered in the necropolis of Cerveteri, dating back to the 6th century BCE. These inscriptions were often found on tombs and funerary artifacts, suggesting that the name may have held religious or spiritual significance for the Etruscans.
In the 1st century CE, the Roman historian Pliny the Elder made reference to a wealthy Roman merchant named Emonii Caecilius, who was renowned for his successful trading ventures throughout the Mediterranean region. This suggests that the name had already been adopted by Roman society during the early days of the Roman Empire.
During the Middle Ages, the name Emonii appeared in various historical records and chronicles, though its usage was relatively limited. One notable figure was Emonii di Firenze, an Italian painter and fresco artist who lived in the 13th century and was commissioned to decorate several churches and monasteries in Florence and the surrounding regions.
In the 16th century, Emonii Gonzaga was a prominent Italian noblewoman and patron of the arts. She was born in 1537 and played a significant role in the cultural and intellectual life of the Renaissance era, hosting salons and supporting the works of renowned artists and writers of the time.
Another historical figure bearing the name Emonii was Emonii Vespucci, an Italian explorer and navigator who lived in the late 15th and early 16th centuries. He is believed to have been a distant relative of the famous explorer Amerigo Vespucci and participated in several voyages to the New World, contributing to the exploration and mapping of the Americas.
While the name Emonii has its roots in ancient Etruscan culture, it has been adopted and used throughout various historical periods and across different regions, particularly in Italy. Its association with fortune, blessings, and prosperity may have contributed to its enduring appeal and usage over the centuries.

FAQ
Emonii: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Emonii?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 141 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Emonii 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 2,430,882 US residents.
Is Emonii a common name?
We classify Emonii as "Very Rare". It ranks above 69.4% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 142 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Emonii most popular?
The single biggest year for Emonii was 2022, when 16 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Emonii is about 9 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 Emonii in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Emonii a female name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Emonii 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 Emonii still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Emonii 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 Emonii 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.
