History & Origin
Emmara is a modern elaboration of Emma. Emma itself began as a short form of longer Germanic names containing the element ermen or irmin ('whole, universal'), and it came to England with Emma of Normandy in the eleventh century, later carried further by Jane Austen's novel. The -ara ending here is a contemporary addition, echoing names like Amara and Tamara; Emmara's own route is modern and uncertain, which we note (said 'eh-MAR-ah').
It appears only in very small numbers in the U.S. Rare, warm, and modern.
