Meaning & Origin
A diminutive of the female given names Emily and Emma.
Emmie is a girl's baby name of Germanic origin, a diminutive of Emily or Emma, both derived from the Old High German ermen meaning 'whole' or 'universal.' Emmie functions as both a standalone name and an affectionate form of these two enormously popular names.
Emmie has the warmth and informality of a name that comes with a smile built in. It is shorter and punchier than Emily, sweeter and more playful than Emma — occupying a unique space between the two giants. Currently climbing as parents discover this vintage nickname standing confidently on its own.
