feminine · Finnish origin
Emmi is a Finnish given name functioning as a short form of names beginning with Em-, most notably Emilia, itself derived from the Latin family name Aemilius, whose root meaning is uncertain but possibly connected to a Latin word meaning rival. The name has been in steady use in Finland and is also found in Germany and other northern European countries as an independent diminutive form of Emma, which traces back to the Germanic element ermen, meaning whole or universal. Related forms include Emmy, Emma, and Emilia.
