Meaning & Story
Emory is an English surname and given name derived from the Germanic Emmerich, meaning whole power or work-power, combining elements meaning universal and ruler or work.
Emory feels like it belongs to a pet who has figured things out. Smart, composed, and a little distinguished, it's the name you'd give a dog who watches everything from the corner of the room before deciding whether a situation deserves their attention. It has a quiet authority that never needs to raise its voice.
