Emelie

Emelie is a Swedish feminine name and a Scandinavian spelling variant of Emily, which derives from the Latin family name Aemilius, itself likely rooted in the Latin word aemulus, meaning rival or striving to equal. The Aemilii were a prominent Roman patrician clan, and the name spread widely across Europe through Latin literary and ecclesiastical influence. Related forms include Emilia, Émilie, Emely, and the anglicized Emily.
