Emaleigh

Emaleigh is a contemporary creation, a creative evolution from the Roman family name Aemilius, which meant 'rival' or 'one who strives.' While Emily has a long history, Emaleigh emerged in the late 20th century as a fresh, lyrical spelling. It bridges the historical striving associated with its Latin roots with a modern, approachable sound, traveled from the English-speaking world where such inventive spellings gained traction.
