Give Emilia a notebook that's unmistakably hers. Emilia's Notebook has her name in elegant script over a pink watercolor apple blossom cover.
Emilia is the feminine form of Aemilius, says Behind the Name, the Roman family name behind Emily. Boccaccio gave it to the heroine of his 14th-century epic poem Teseida, and in Shakespeare’s tragedy Othello (1603) Emilia is the wife of Iago. It is the same name as Emily, in its older and more Latin dress.
Behind the Name lists Em, Emmie, Emmy, Millie and Milly as English diminutives, and Emily, Emilee and Emely among the English forms. An Emilia can be a playful Millie or a breezy Em.
Emilia Clarke, born October 23, 1986, is an English actress best known as Daenerys Targaryen in HBO’s Game of Thrones (2011 to 2019), which earned her four Emmy nominations. Wikipedia says she also played Sarah Connor in Terminator Genisys and Qi’ra in Solo: A Star Wars Story, starred in Me Before You and Last Christmas, and made her Broadway debut as Holly Golightly in Breakfast at Tiffany’s in 2013.
Emilia is a 2010s name in America. US Social Security data has it at 131st in the 2010s, when more than 24,300 girls were named Emilia. Behind the Name says it ranked 45th in the US in 2025, third in Germany, sixth in Estonia, and first in Austria in 2024.
An Emilia was one of the first professional women poets in English. Wikipedia says Emilia Lanier, born Aemilia Bassano in 1569, published Salve Deus Rex Judaeorum in 1611, a volume that has been seen as protofeminist. She has a claim to be one of the first women in English with a substantial body of commercially published poetry. She lived at the same time as Shakespeare, and some have tried to identify her as the “Dark Lady” of his sonnets.
Emilia’s Notebook works just as well for a teenager as for a grandmother. It’s 6" x 9", which fits in most bags, with 160 lined pages and no printed layout to work around. Use it as a diary, a school notebook, a planner or a place to collect quotes and ideas. A name on the cover turns an everyday notebook into something personal.
A plain notebook is useful. One with her name on it is a gift. Seeing “Emilia’s Notebook” on the cover tells Emilia it was chosen for her, not grabbed off a shelf, and that small touch is often what makes people keep a notebook going instead of abandoning it after a week.
How big is Emilia’s Notebook? 6" x 9", or about 15.2 x 22.9 cm. It’s a paperback with 160 lined pages inside.
