Etymology & Historical Origin of the Baby Name Emmalee

Emmalee is a newly invented name that took its inspiration from one of two places. For one, Emmalee is quite obviously the combination of two other names: Emma plus Lee. Secondly, Emmalee could also be considered a new and creative way to render the common female name Emily (since they sound practically identical). Emily comes from the Latin “Aemilia” which was the feminine form of an ancient Roman family name Aemilius; etymologically speaking the name comes from the Latin “aemulus” meaning “rival”. Both Emma and Emily are super-duper popular female names throughout the English-speaking world right now (as well as parts of Europe), so some American parents have slightly altered them in order to differentiate their own baby girls. Emmalee seems to be an American invention although the name is used from time to time in Canada and Australia as well.

Emmalee achieved enough usage in the United States to land a spot on the Top 1000 list for the first time in 1999.
