Emmaline origin and meaning

English elaboration

Uncertain — an elaboration of Emma (Germanic ermin, 'whole, universal') with the -line ending; the root is attested but this elaborated form was never formally coined

Emmaline stretches Emma — once a medieval royal name, from a Germanic word for 'whole' — with the -line ending Victorians loved. It has flickered in US data since 1916 and peaked in 2014 during Emma's long reign at the top of the charts. It should not be confused with Emmeline, the spelling of suffragette Emmeline Pankhurst, though the two are pronounced alike and constantly interchanged.
