History & Origin

Emilianna is a modern, double-n spelling of Emiliana, the Italian and Spanish feminine of Latin Aemilianus. That name comes from the Roman gens Aemilia, one of the oldest patrician families of Rome; the root is usually glossed 'rival' or 'eager, striving'. The long romance form has stayed alive in Italy, Spain and Latin America, and the extra n is the contemporary American touch (said 'eh-mee-lee-AH-nuh').

It appears only very rarely for girls in the U.S. and is newly emerging in this spelling. Rare, ornate, and richly romance.

Did you know? Emilianna stretches Emiliana across five flowing beats. Behind it is the ancient Roman family name Aemilius, from which Emily, Emilia and Emiliano all descend — traditionally glossed 'rival' or 'eager'.
