Because of the accent mark, in French it would be said em-ay-LEES. In English, it would end up being more like EM-ay-lees or EM-eh-lees. It might also end up being said like EM-eh-leez in English, with the 'z' sound. It appears to be a blend of names beginning with
Em (such as
Émile,
Emma,
Emilia )+
Élise, a form of
Elisabeth.
I think it's lovely! Definitely different and distinctive, but in a good way. Has a sweet vintage feel.
Emmy is a good nickname. I like it best spelled
Emmy.

It seems to me French names work well with Emmélise, which makes sense. :P
