You know, like choosing a middle name for your new bundle of joy!

My favorite middle names for Emilia are Emilia Shea and Emilia Ivy. They roll off the tongue so beautifully, and even sound perfect for calling out to your child when she’s not listening. “Emilia Ivy, I said come over here right now!”
But there are so many options, you should choose the one that feels right to you.
Meaning of the Name Emilia
The meaning of the name Emilia has various meanings and roots. In Greek it means soft or friendly. In Latin, the name Emilia means rival or emulating, as it does in the English language as well. The Germanic meaning of Emelia means industrious.
So it all depends on who you ask!
While not as popular as the spelling Amelia, Emilia has exploded in popularity in the U.S. over the last 20 years.
Some famous Emilias are actresses Emilia Isobel Euphemia Rose Clarke (who has an incredible array of middle names!) and Emilia McCarthy.
