Meaning & Story

Welsh origin, from the Arthurian legend name Emrys, derived from the Latin Ambrosius meaning "immortal" — the name associated with the young Merlin in Welsh tradition.

Emrys is the name of young Merlin in the Welsh Arthurian tradition, the child prophet whose power was so extraordinary that he could not be explained by ordinary means. It carries an unmistakable quality of magic and mystery — a name for a pet who seems to know things they shouldn't, who appears at exactly the right moment, and who watches the world with ancient, knowing eyes. An extraordinary name for an extraordinary animal.
