Emily

Emily is a name that embodies a particular kind of classic American elegance—warm, approachable, and quietly accomplished. Derived from the Latin Aemilia, which was a Roman family name, the name gained massive popularity in the English-speaking world during the 1970s and 1980s, and has maintained strong usage ever since. Literary associations abound: Emily Dickinson, the reclusive genius poet, is one of the most famous women in American history, and Emily Bronte wrote the gothic masterpiece Wuthering Heights. Emilys are seen as determined, capable individuals with a blend of warmth and drive. Emily parents often describe their daughters as having a quiet determination—a drive that may not be immediately obvious but that shows up in their commitment to their goals. They tend to be the kind of children who work hard, who don't give up easily, who have high expectations for themselves.
