Emylou is English in Origin.
Emylou is a modern compound given name formed from Emy/Emmy, a diminutive of Emily, Emma, or Emilia, and Lou, the familiar short form of Louise or Louis. Its elements trace to Latin Aemilius ("rival, striving") or Old Germanic ermen ("whole, universal") for the first part, and to the Germanic elements hlud ("fame") and wig ("war") behind Louise/Louis for the second. Together they suggest a lively blend of ambition and renown.
In English-speaking countries, double names with Lou flourished in the late 19th and 20th centuries and remain especially at home in the American South. The spelling Emmylou is best known through singer Emmylou Harris, while Emylou represents a streamlined, contemporary respelling. Related forms include Emmy Lou, Emmy-Lou, Emy-Lou, Emylu, and Emilu. Though rare in official statistics, the name sees sporadic use in the US, UK, and Australia. Common nicknames are Em, Emmy, and Lou/Lulu.
