From Wikipedia
In Pythagorean numerology, every letter has a value from 1 to 9. Adding the letters of Emilia yields these three numbers — a playful read on the name's character.
Emilia's 4,634 births in 2024 sits 131% higher than its count from ten years back, though it trails the name's actual peak, 4,851 in 2021 — the year count and rank both set their high points together, #40 nationally.
SSA records for this name run back to 1880, a quiet background presence for most of that span before this recent surge.
Emilia Clarke's television fame, beginning in 2011, sits right at the start of the name's climb — one of the clearer possible cultural connections in this batch, though the birth data can only show the timing lines up, not that it caused the rise.
