Emmie is a pet form of English names beginning with Em-, most commonly Emma or Emily, both of which trace back to the Germanic root ermen or irmin, meaning whole or universal. Emma itself was introduced to England by Norman settlers and became widespread in medieval Europe, while Emily derives from the Latin Aemilia, the feminine of the Roman family name Aemilius. Emmie has been used as an independent given name since at least the nineteenth century, particularly in Britain and the United States. Related forms include Emmy, Emme, and the full names Emma and Emily.
