Emm Forename Meaning

From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

A female name. Old German Emma or Imma, hypocoristic forms of names compounded with Ermin, Irmin ‘whole’, ‘universal’. The name was introduced into England by Emma, d. of Richard I, Duke of Normandy, who m. (1) 1002 King Ethelred the Unready, and (2) 1017 King Cnut. It was a favourite Norman name, and was common from the 11th C onwards. The English form was Em and Emm, which is found as late as the middle of the 18th C, and the diminutive Emmet was also common, giving rise to a number of surnames; Camden 16o5 and Lyford 1655 give Emmet as a christian name. The form Emma was revived in the 18th C, probably under the influence of Prior’s poem Henry and Emma, a paraphrase of the ballad of the ‘Nut Brown Maid’, which was very popular.
