History & Origin

Emmakate is a modern smoosh name. Emma descends from a Germanic element meaning 'whole' or 'universal'; Kate is the short form of Katherine, whose Greek root is genuinely uncertain but is traditionally read as 'pure.' Writing the two as one word is a recent habit rather than an inherited name, and we say so plainly (said 'EM-uh-kayt').

It appears only rarely for girls in the U.S. Rare, compound, and friendly.

Did you know? Emmakate is plainly a compound — two very old classics, Emma and Kate, run together into a single given name. That fusing habit is a modern American one, especially strong in the South, and it is worth stating simply.
