According to the Social Security Administration, it was apparently the Number One girls name between 1996 and 2007...
根据美国社会保障局的调查，在1996年到2007年间，它显然是给女孩起名的首选。
and it's still an incredibly popular choice: A whopping 109,149 babies were named Emily between 2010 to 2018.
而且仍然是个非常受欢迎的名字：在2010年到2018年间，多达109149名婴儿取名为艾米丽。
Believe it or not, Emily wasn't always such a mainstream moniker.
无论大家相信与否，艾米丽并非一直是主流的名字。
As Behind the Name reports, "In the English-speaking world it was not common until after the German House of Hanover came to the British throne in the 18th century;
正如“姓名背后的含义”所介绍的，“在讲英语的国家，这种现象并不常见，直到18世纪德国汉诺威家族继承英国王位之后;
the princess Amelia Sophia (who lived from 1711 to 1786) was commonly known as Emily in English."
阿梅莉亚·索菲亚公主(1711 - 1786)的英语名字通常被称为艾米丽。”
Meanwhile, the name Emily can mean "rival, laborious, or eager," according to The Bump.
与此同时，“艾米丽”这个名字也有“竞争对手、勤劳或渴望”的含义。
Sure, that makes all these Emilys sound rather high-maintenance and overly dramatic, much like the kinds of characters a certain Emily Blunt is fond of playing.
当然，这一点让所有名叫艾米丽的人听起来相当难搞，而且过于戏剧化，就像艾米丽·布朗特喜欢扮演的角色一样。
"Her driver just text-messaged me and her facials ruptured a disc. God these people!"
“她的司机刚给我发了短信，她的面部出现了椎间盘破裂。天呐，这什么人啊！“
Emily was one of the last decade's most popular names, and we don't expect that popularity to fade anytime soon.
艾米丽是过去十年最受欢迎的名字之一，我们并不认为这个名字的受欢迎程度会很快消失。
According to the Social Security Administration, 91,914 girls were named Madison between 2010 and 2018.
根据美国社会保障局的数据，2010年至2018年间，有91914名女孩被取名为麦迪逊。
What's more, the name also happened to be a top-five baby girl name from 2000 to 2007.
更重要的是，从2000年到2007年，这个名字也恰巧位列前五名热门女婴名字。
But the name Madison wasn't always such a popular choice, in fact, it wasn't even considered a girl's name at all for quite some time.
但麦迪逊这个名字并不总是那么受欢迎，事实上，有很长一段时间，大家甚至都不认为这是女孩的名字。
As Behind the Name reports, "It was not commonly used as a feminine name until after the 1984 movie Splash...
正如“姓名背后的含义”显示，“直到1984年的电影《现代美人鱼》之后，这个名字才被普遍用作女性名字...
in which the main character adopted it as her name after seeing a street sign for Madison Avenue in New York City."
剧中的主角在看到纽约市麦迪逊大道的路牌后，就用了这个名字。”
Truth be told, the character's actual name has never been particularly popular, in America or anywhere else.
说实话，无论是在美国还是在其他任何地方，这个角色的真名都不是特别受欢迎。
"My name is Eeeeeeee Eeeeeee Eeeeee!"
“我的名字叫呃，呃，呃!”
Meanwhile, The Bump reports that Madison means "son of the mighty warrior," which sounds pretty darn ferocious to us.
与此同时，The Bump网站报道称，麦迪逊的意思是“伟大战士的儿子”，这听起来相当残忍。
"She's really hungry."
“她只是饿坏了。”

There's plenty of other fascinating facts surrounding the name.
围绕着这个名字还有许多其他有趣的信息。
As Behind the Name reports, "The biblical Abigail refers to herself as a servant,
正如“姓名背后的含义”报道，“圣经中的阿比盖尔称自己为仆人，
and beginning in the 17th century the name became a slang term for a servant."
