Emmerie is English in Origin.

Emmerie is a modern, largely feminine elaboration of Emery and Emory, which came to English via Norman French from the Germanic personal names Emmerich and Amalric. Emmerich combines the elements ermen (or irmin, meaning "whole, universal") and ric ("ruler, power"), while Amalric blends amal ("work, vigor") with ric. Through centuries of coexistence in medieval records, these forms overlapped in spelling and sound, yielding English Emery and its creative variants like Emmerie. The resultant meanings are often interpreted as "universal ruler" or "industrious ruler."

In medieval England and France, Emery/Emory appeared mainly as a masculine given name and later as a surname; since the late 20th century it has re-emerged in the U.S., Canada, and the U.K. as a fashionable unisex name that now leans female. Variant spellings and cousins include Emery, Emory, Emmery, Emerie, Emarie, Emrie; related forms are Emmerich (German) and Amaury (French). Nicknames include Em, Emme, and Emmy.
