History & Origin

Emaree respells Emery, itself from the Germanic Emmerich, generally read as 'brave; powerful ruler'. The Normans carried it to England, where it settled as both a surname and a given name. Modern American use is largely for girls, and the -aree spelling underlines that softness (said 'EM-uh-ree').

It appears only rarely in the U.S. Rare, modern-spelled, and gentle.

Did you know? Emery came to England with the Normans as Emmerich, a name built from words for wholeness and rule. Emaree is its modern American respelling, leaning feminine, which we note (said 'EM-uh-ree').
