feminine · French origin
Emy is a French diminutive form of names beginning with Em-, most commonly Emma or Émilie, both of which trace back ultimately to Germanic roots. Emma derives from the element ermen, meaning whole or universal, while Émilie comes from the Latin Aemilius, a Roman family name of uncertain but possibly Etruscan origin. Emy functions chiefly as an affectionate short form rather than an independent given name and remains in use primarily in French-speaking regions. Related forms include Emmy, Emmi, and Emi.
