Emmett

Emmett is a name with Old German origins. It was first used as a metronymic family name, taken from the traditionally female name, Emma. Emma is a name with a rich history, having been derived from antiquated Germanic names like Ermintrude and Ermengarde. These names were extremely traditional and a bit of a mouthful so was shortened into shorter names such as Ermen, Irma and Irmern, so the meaning of Emmett is translated to mean 'all-inclusive', 'whole' or 'entirety'. This is where Emmett gets its meaning from. The name was then brought over to Britain by the Vikings, who adapted the name to be spelt Hemma. In the eleventh century, Hemma, who was the daughter of Richard the Duke of Normandy, wed the King of England (Aethelred the Unready) which led to the name increasing in popularity amongst the English. The name Emmett was first recorded in the United States back in the fourteenth century as Emmot.
