What is the meaning of the name Emmie ?

The baby name Emmie is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈɛmi/ (EM-ee).

Emmie is in Origin.

Emmie is an English pet form of a cluster of Em- names, notably Emma, Emily, Emmeline, and sometimes Amelia. Through Emma it traces to the Old Germanic element ermen/irmin, meaning whole or universal; through Emily it reflects the Latin Aemilia, often interpreted as rival or eager; and through Emmeline or Amelia it links to the Germanic amal, work or industrious. As a result, Emmie carries layered meanings ranging from universal to industrious and ambitious rival. Pronounced EM-ee.

Attested on British and American records from the 1800s, Emmie has long appeared as both an affectionate nickname and an independent given name. It enjoys periodic revival in the Anglosphere and has close cousins in northern Europe, where Emmy and Emmi are established stand-alone names. Variant spellings include Emmy, Emmi, Emme, and Emy; related longer forms are Emma, Emily, Emmeline, and Amelia.
