History & Origin

Emmajo is a compound girl's name written as a single word, joining Emma to Jo. Emma grows from a Germanic root meaning whole or universal, while Jo is the everyday short form of Josephine, from a Hebrew name meaning God will add. The blend belongs to the friendly tradition of double names and rose gently as Emma itself soared in the two-thousands.

Emmajo was never common, given to only about twenty girls a year at its mid-two-thousands peak. A girl named Emmajo then is a teenager today.

Did you know? Emmajo carries on the old American habit of fusing two names into one, the same warm, country-flavored formula that gave us Maryjo, Bettyjo, and Sarahjane.
