History & Origin

Emmamae joins Emma, from a Germanic root meaning 'whole' or 'universal,' to Mae, a short form of Mary and of May. Written as one word, it revives the old Southern double-name style for a modern era that loves both Emma and vintage middle-name Mae, giving two real names a single charming shape.

In the United States it stayed rare as one word, given to only about fifteen girls a year even at its peak in the early twenty-tens. A girl named Emmamae then is a young teenager today.

Did you know? It follows the Southern custom of the double first name, Emma Mae, run together, the same tradition behind Bettye Sue and Anna Mae.
