Emiliano
Meaning of Emiliano
Emiliano rolls off the tongue like a sweet guitar chord at a summer fiesta, born from the Latin Aemilianus—“eager” or “rival”—and carried through Spanish and Italian streets into today’s nurseries. He wears the bold spirit of Emiliano Zapata, so the name hums with courage and corazón. Four lively syllables—eh-mee-LYAH-noh—dance in quick step, warm and musical. In the U.S., Emiliano has raced up the charts since the ’90s, landing just shy of the Top 100 in 2024, a rise as catchy as a salsa beat. Friendly yet strong, classic yet fresh, Emiliano feels at home kicking a soccer ball, sketching a mural, or leading a classroom. Wrapped in history, melody, and a dash of rebel spark, this name promises a boy who greets the world with a bright, booming “¡Hola!”
