What is the meaning of the name Aymeric ?

The baby name Aymeric is a Male name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced English: AY-mə-rik (ˈeɪmərɪk); French: eh-MEH-reek (ɛmʁik).

Aymeric is Germanic in Origin.

Aymeric is a French and Occitan given name from the medieval form Aimeric/Aimericus, built on the West Germanic elements haim 'home' and ric 'power, ruler', giving the sense 'ruler of the household'. Variant spellings include Aimery, Aimeric, Aymerik/Aymerick, and the Anglo-Norman Aymer; Catalan also preserves Aimeric. It is sometimes confused with Amaury (from Amalric) or with Emeric/Émeric, but Aymeric belongs to the Haim- + -ric line also behind Henry.

It flourished among the aristocracy of medieval France and Occitania, borne by crusader nobles and several troubadours, most notably Aimery (Aymeric) of Lusignan, king of Cyprus and Jerusalem, and poets such as Aimeric de Peguilhan. The name waned after the Renaissance yet saw a quiet revival in late-20th-century France and francophone regions, appreciated for its chivalric color and familiar, modern sound. Today Aymeric remains uncommon but established, a distinctive alternative to Henry or Amaury.
