Emery is the English form of a medieval Norman name, from Old French Émeri/Émery, itself tracing to Germanic compounds such as Emmerich and Amalric. The elements ermen/irmin “whole, universal” and ric “ruler, power,” or alternatively amal “work, industry,” give common glosses like “powerful (or universal) ruler” and “industrious.” Though identical to the word emery for an abrasive mineral, the given name has a separate etymology.

In England it was well used for men in the Middle Ages, then lingered as a surname and was later revived in the Anglophone world. Twenty-first‑century usage is strongly unisex in the U.S., Canada, and elsewhere, ranking higher for girls. Variants and related forms include Emory, Emry, Emerie, Émery, Emeric, Aimery/Aymeric, Amory, and Hungarian Imre. Nicknames range from Em and Emmy to Remy.
