Emry - Name Meaning and Popularity -

Meaning of Emry

Emry traces its lineage to the Welsh name Emrys, a form of the Latin Ambrosius—“immortal”—best known in legend as a title for the wizard Merlin (Myrddin Emrys). In modern usage the final “s” has been pared away, yielding a brisk, unisex choice that sounds familiar beside Emery yet retains a quieter, Celtic lilt. American statistics bear this out: since the mid-1990s Emry has loitered in the 800–900 range of the national charts—visible, but unlikely to result in three classmates answering to the same call. This measured popularity, coupled with its mythic roots, gives parents a name that feels both time-tested and refreshingly under-the-radar.
