Meaning & origin
Emillio is a variant spelling of Emilio, the Spanish and Italian form of the Roman family name Aemilius. In the United States, the name first appeared on birth records in 1918 and saw its highest usage in 2005, its peak year. Since then, its popularity has been in steady decline; in 2025 it ranked 8910, with only 1 in every 213,510 newborn boys receiving the name. The double-l spelling is far less common than the standard Emilio, and no single state has stood out as a stronghold for this variant. Emillio fits well with many modern sibling names and offers a slightly distinctive twist on a well-established classic.
