Emilie is associated with the meaning “Rival, industrious, or eager worker” — a beautiful sentiment to see brought to life in your child’s room.
Emilie comes from the Latin family name Aemilius, which is believed to mean "rival" or "to strive." It is the French and Scandinavian spelling of Emily, and its roots trace back to ancient Rome. The name entered common use across Europe through Latin, eventually branching into dozens of regional variations.
