Emmery is a French-origin given name derived from the Germanic element "heim", meaning "home" or "estate". It is often associated with qualities like strength, courage, and protectiveness. Historically popular among Burgundian nobility, notable figures like John II, Duke of Burgundy (1318-1330), bore this name. Over time, Emmery has evolved into variations such as Emeric, Emery, and Emmerich, but its core meaning remains constant. Today, it is a unique choice for parents seeking distinctive names with rich history and meaningful origins.
