Emerie

Girl name · 3 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Emerie: 3 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 3 births in 2025.

Emerie is a modern variant of the ancient name Emery, which itself stems from the Old Germanic 'Amalric,' meaning 'work-ruler' or 'industrious leader.' While historically a masculine name, Emerie has gained popularity as a beautiful, softer choice for girls in recent years, particularly in Scotland and the United States. Though no famous bearers named Emerie have yet reached global renown, the name shares its roots with the medieval Emery, a saintly figure venerated in parts of Europe. The spelling Emerie feels like a contemporary twist on the classic Emily, yet carries a distinct, slightly more formal cadence. Its rise in Scotland reflects a broader trend for names ending in '-ie' that feel both fresh and familiarly traditional.
