The story of Emree
Emmerich was a Germanic name that the Normans carried to England as Emery, where it became a surname. Hungary took the same name as Imre and made it national — Saint Imre was an eleventh-century prince. Emery moved into American given names for both sexes, and Emree, Emerie and Emory are the modern respellings that mark the girls' side.
Meaning
