As mentioned, the name Emília was made famous as a rag doll on a TV programme here. The male equivalent "Emiliano" is the name of a leading hotel here in São Paulo. ▲ Collapse

เอมิลี is the safest spelling. Other pronunciations connote factors of rudeness specific to local people.

We do not have this name in Turkish which is of Latin origin meaning "rival; laborious; eager". We write in the original way as Emily
