Emmeleia

The feminine name Emmeleia will soon twirl its way into your heart. Before it became a name, the word emmeleia described a type of dance often depicted in Ancient Greek theatre. It originated from emmelēs, a Greek phrase meaning "harmonious" or "suitable." Typically performed in scenes of tragedy, the emmeleia was a solemn and dignified musical piece. You and your loved ones will be more likely to dance a jig when baby Emmeleia arrives, with all your joy and excitement! Perhaps Emmeleia is a variant of Emilia or Amelia, two monikers that stem from the Latin element aemulus and the Germanic amal. Emilia translates to "rival" and Amelia means "vigorous" or "brave," so don't be surprised if your kiddo is the champion of every dance-off.
