Emma

Emma derives from the Germanic element ermen or irmin, meaning "whole" or "universal," often interpreted as conveying strength and completeness. It was popular among medieval European royalty and nobility, notably borne by Emma of Normandy, queen consort of both England and Denmark in the eleventh century, and by Emma of Italy. The name was revived in the English-speaking world during the eighteenth century, partly through its use in literature, including Jane Austen's 1815 novel featuring it as the title character's name. Related forms include Irma, Emmeline, and Emmanuella.
