Emma is a beautiful classic name that fell out of favor in the 60s, 70s, and early 80s. I think there was a slight uptick in its use in the late 80s and early 90s due to the teenage beauty named Emma on the show Kate and Allie. Then in 2002 when Ross and Rachel named their daughter Emma on Friends, EVERYONE had to have it and now it's as overused as Michelle and Jennifer were when I was in school in the 80s and 90s.

If I use Emma for my daughter, I'm going to make it a double barrel name, either Emma-Kate or Emma-Claire.

Also used in Nigeria. They are 39,107 people named Emma in Nigeria according to https://forebears.io/forenames/emma

Though Emma is widespread in some countries this does not mean the name is "dated" it just means it's very popular / overused depending on how you view it. It's the sort of name that doesn't label the wearer as belonging to a certain social status.

It's a form of Emily.

In 2018, 7 is the most common age for an American (U.S.) Emma who is registered female with the Social Security Administration. It is the 143rd most common female first name for living U.S. citizens.

Emma is also used in Italy.
Infact it was #7 for girls (-1 than the previous year) in 2015 Ranking of Popular Names for Babies in Italy.
This name was given to 3690 babies that year.

Emma (with pronunciation EM-mah) is also sporadically used in Poland. I think its popularity is slowly rising due to popularity across the world, and the enormous popularity of such names as Amelia or Emilia, even though they're unrelated, people just seem to like names with this kind of sound. Nameday is on 24 November.

It's crazy how much this name has blown up in popularity. It wasn't even in the top 20 in 1998 (according to the social security administration website), but has consistently risen in popularity throughout the 21st century so far and was number 1 in 2015 (in the US).

Also used in Hungary. Pronunciation: EM-maw.

The name is also used in Iceland. [noted -ed]

The name is also rather common in Iceland.

It is very common in Scandinavia (Norway, Sweden, Denmark). In the past decade it's been among the most popular names, often the most popular. [noted -ed]
In Norway, before the late 80s/early 90s Emma was seen as quite an old-fashioned name, usually carried by an old woman or a long dead relative.
It's pronounced EM-a in Norwegian, Sweden and Denmark.

In Italy Emma didn't exist till the middle of the 19th century. Then it became suddenly fashionable, probably due to the novel "Madame Bovary": it was the 2nd most popular name in Rome in 1876, behind Maria. In the 20th century it was rare and almost obsolete. At the present Emma has become fashionable again, especially in Northern Italy: in 2004 it was the 2nd most popular name in Venice behind Giulia, the 10th in Florence and the 15th in Milan, the 29th in all Italy. In 2006 it rises to the 16th nationwide.

I just saw how popular my name was, and it's pretty freakin' popular, alright!

Also a girls name in Slovenia, though Ema is far more common.

It's also the Catalan form.

Back in 1880 to 1890 this name was very popular then too.

Emma has been the #1 name in Canada for 3 years in a row, but probably on the chart for WAY more. Emily, however, has not been able to be #1, but instead has held the #2 place.

This is my name - in Ireland it is quite common. However my mother has told me when I was born, she knew only one girl in her school called Emma and the book by Jane Austen. My name is ok - sometimes I think it's quite plain but it's a classic and a name you can grow up with.
