Emelie

Emelie is a Swedish feminine name, a Scandinavian spelling variant of the Latin Aemilia, derived from the Roman family name Aemilius, which is thought to stem from the Latin root aemulus, meaning rival or striving to equal. The name has been common throughout the Germanic and Nordic countries, carried by the broader popularity of its pan-European cognates. Related forms include Emily, Emilia, Amélie, and Emilie.
