Emilija

US Popularity Rank: 11565

Origin: Latin

Meaning: Rival

I don’t think you’ll be able to find a name that rivals Emilija. This version of Emilia or Emily has its roots in the Latin surname Aemilius. Typically given to girls, Emilija means “rival.” I don’t think anyone will want to go up against baby Emilija, as they are sure to be the winner every time. Whether in debates, football games, or dancing competitions, they will be the ultimate adversary, crushing the opposition. Matching baby’s medal-winning mindset, Emilija has the perfect competitive edge.
