feminine · Finnish origin
Emmi is a Finnish feminine given name functioning as a vernacular short form of names beginning with the Germanic element ermen, meaning whole or universal. It is closely related to the widely used international form Emma, as well as to longer compound names such as Emilia and Emily that share overlapping phonetic roots in Scandinavian and Finnish naming traditions. The name has been popular in Finland throughout the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, reflecting the Finnish tendency to adopt and adapt European names into native-feeling diminutive forms.
