It reached its highest popularity in 2021, when it ranked 10,917th nationally, with roughly 1 in 200,908 girls receiving the name that year. Since 2022, its usage has been falling, reflecting a brief spike typical of trendy invented names.

Emberlie has not yet been recorded in any top state rankings, indicating it remains a rare choice across the country.

Emberlie is a modern invented name, first recorded in the United States in 2009. It combines the nature-themed word ember, referring to a glowing coal in a dying fire, with the fashionable feminine suffix -lie (a variant of -ley or -ly). The name follows a trend of creating new, soft-sounding names by attaching familiar endings to evocative words or existing names.
