[Facts] Re: MEANING OF NAME
in reply to a message by Sarah
Ya did good, Sarah. :) Some claim the names "Emil" and "Emily" mean "industrious". But I see that our Webmaster Mike C. has opted to go with the definition of the Latin word "aemulus" as the source of the name -- which means "a rival".The Roman poet Ovid, however, used the word "aemulus" to mean more specifically: "a rival in love".-- Nanaea
