Meaning & Origin
Emmit is a boy's baby name of Old English origin, a variant spelling of Emmett, from the medieval given name Emma, derived from the Germanic ermen meaning 'whole' or 'universal.'
Emmit Brickowski from The LEGO Movie gave the name a cheerful, optimistic pop culture moment. The single-T spelling is less common than Emmett but carries the same warm, friendly energy — it's the kind of name that makes people smile when they hear it.
