Emlin is in Origin.
Emlin has two principal roots. In England it serves as a medieval short form of Emeline/Emmeline, brought by the Normans and derived from the Germanic Amal- element meaning "work; industrious; striving." Records show Emlin used for girls from the late Middle Ages. In Wales, Emlin is a spelling of Emlyn, a masculine given name taken from the old Dyfed cantref of Emlyn in southwest Wales, giving it a place-name character.
Contemporary usage is rare and often unisex. The Victorian revival of medieval names kept the Emmeline family in light, and Emlin occasionally appears as a streamlined variant. Related forms and spellings include Emlyn, Emlen, Emeline, Emmeline, Emelyn, and Emalyn; nicknames Em, Emmy, and Lin are natural. Depending on which root is intended, the name means either "industrious; hardworking" (from Amal-) or "from Emlyn" (Welsh toponymic).
