History & Origin

Emmalea is a compound of two established names, Emma and Lea or Leah. Emma descends from a Germanic word for 'whole' or 'universal' and Leah from Hebrew. Written as one word, it belongs to the fashion for merging a parent's favorite pair of names into a single first name.

Emmalea never gathered numbers in United States records. It appeared in the mid-nineteen-eighties, reached its quiet high of a couple dozen girls a year around 2005 as Emma boomed, and stayed uncommon. A girl named Emmalea then is a teenager now.

Did you know? Emmalea rode the huge revival of Emma, which climbed to the very top of American girls' names in the two-thousands and inspired blended spin-offs like this one.
