About the name Emilio

From the Roman family name Aemilius, Emilio has flourished in Italian and Spanish while the English Emil never quite caught on. It has real flair, a rolling four-beat rhythm, and it belongs to the small set of names that sound like a good time without sounding unserious.

Emilio is a boy name of Latin (Spanish) origin, pronounced eh-MEE-lee-oh. On the NameRarity scale it scores 51 out of 100, which places it in the uncommon band — familiar to everyone, yet rarely duplicated in the same room. Its strongest period was the 1990s.
