Emily is a feminine name derived from the Roman feminine name '' Aemilia''. The Latin name ''Aemilia'' in turn may derive from the Latin word ''aemulus'' (or from the same root as ''aemulus''), meaning "rival", but this may be a folk etymology. ==Popularity== Emily has been a hugely popular name in the English-speaking world, ranking among the most popular names in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand. It held the position for over a decade as the most common name given to girls in the United States but fell to sixth place in 2009.〔(Social Security Administration )〕 In 2013 it was the sixth most popular name for girls in Australia. It is also a common name in numerous other countries.〔(Behind the Name )〕 Emily and Emma switched off as the number one most popular baby name for thirteen consecutive years until 2009 when Emma placed in second behind Isabella and Emily ranked as sixth. "Emily also has literary associations, including Emily Dickinson, evoking images of a woman who is both beautiful and smart," noted a May 11, 2008, Associated Press article.〔("Emily, Jacob, again top list of most popular baby names.
