History & Origin

Emmarae is a modern smoosh name. Emma descends from a Germanic element meaning 'whole' or 'universal'; Rae is a short form of Rachel (Hebrew, 'ewe') and a long-standing American middle name. Joining them into one word is recent, and we say plainly that this is a compound rather than an inherited name (said 'EM-uh-ray').

It appears only rarely for girls in the U.S. Rare, compound, and country-warm.

Did you know? Emmarae is plainly a compound — Emma and Rae written as a single name. Rae has long been a favourite middle name in the U.S., and fusing a first and a middle into one word is a modern habit worth stating simply.
