-<strong>Emilia</strong>-<br />
(My mom and Dad picked my name because someone in my mom’s dream<br />
was named Emily. They didn’t name me that, because the variation <strong>Emilia</strong> is more<br />
unique. If I was a boy my name might have been Ethan). <strong>Emilia</strong> has Latin origins.<br />
It means to strive, to excel, or to rival. It originally comes from the name Aemilia.<br />
Common Variations of the name are, Amelia, Emelia, Emily, Amilya, <strong>Emilia</strong>na,<br />
and Amilia. Aemilia is the feminine form of the latin name Aemilius. Which<br />
means to rival, excel, or to emulate. <strong>Emilia</strong> represents me because I strive in being<br />
a better person. I excel in 6th grade math and in accelerated 5th grade. I also rival<br />
sometimes with my sister.<br />
