In 2025, 16 babies in England and Wales were named Emory. In the US, 740 were, though that figure is from 2017 — the most recent full year we hold.

Looking further back: between 1880 and 2008, Emory was most common in 1880, when it went to 0.03% of American babies of that sex. Squarely vintage-revival territory.
