Emily
Emily is said to be of Roman origin. It comes from the Roman family household name, ‘Aemilius’. Aemilius comes from the Latin ‘aemulus’, which means ‘to work hard’ or ‘to rival’. The meaning of Emily is thus deduced to be ‘to strive’, ‘to excel’ or ‘to rival’. The Aemilius families were considered to be one of the most prominent classes in society. It is also said that they were descendants of the second Roman King, Numa Pompilius, and were of Sabine origin. Netflix’s 'Emily In Paris' is one of the most successful shows of 2020. Emily Ratajkowski and Emily Blunt are well known names in the modelling and film industries. Another notable Emily is the author of 'Wuthering Heights', Emily Bronte.

Lucky
Emily lucky number is 1.
1 symbolizes a pioneering spirit, independent nature, and innate leadership capabilities. On a bad day, 1 can be a bit bossy or boastful, hiding any insecurities behind over-developed self-importance. 1 must remember that although it is first, it can very quickly become the loneliest number. Even the most autonomous 1s need the support of their friends, family, and lovers.
