Emily

The name Emily is a female given name. It is the English form of the Latin gens name Aemilia meaning "rival": originally "those in the next valley," and therefore the root is the same as for "emulate" (not to be confused with the similar-sounding but unrelated Germanic names Amelia and Emma).

Famous bearers of the name Emily include:

• Emily Brontë
• Emily Dickinson
• Emily Hart
• Lady Emily Lennox
• Emily character from the Thomas the Tank Engine series
• The Japanese Imperial Navy Flying Boat used in WWII, Kawanishi H8K, nicknamed "Emily" in the Allied idenitification code

Emily is also the name of a town: Emily, Minnesota.

Emily (the) Strange is a cartoon character and merchandising mascot.

Also, the name is on the list of tropical cyclone names for storms in the Atlantic Ocean; see Hurricane Emily (disambiguation).

Emily is also a popular name to feature in song titles, from bands including Feeder, Pink Floyd, Simon and Garfunkel, Bowling For Soup, From First To Last, Stephen Fretwell, Adam Green, Manic Street Preachers, and Art Brut.
