A proper noun referring to the famed 19th‑century English novelist and poet Emily Brontë (often spelled with an umlaut in some editions). The name combines her given name, Emily, with her surname Brontë, though in modern usage the diaeresis over the e is typically omitted. The pronunciation emphasizes the first syllable of Emily and the final vowel of Brontë as a clear ‘eh’ sound in many dialects.
