Emery
Meaning of Emery
Emery bursts onto the scene like a pocket-size conquistadora with a glitter crown. Her roots stretch back to the Germanic Emmerich—“industrious ruler”—so she arrives pre-loaded with hustle and heart. Knights once carried the name into battle; today, it skips through playgrounds from Texas to Tijuana, sounding bright and breezy as EM-uh-ree. Unisex at first, she’s now a rising estrella for baby girls, rocketing from the 800s in the ’90s to a cozy Top-100 perch. Parents love her balance: a dash of vintage, a splash of modern, as practical as an emery board yet as dazzling as an emerald. Picture a little dreamer who colors outside the lines, then turns those scribbles into skyscrapers—sí, that’s Emery. Nicknames like Em, Emmy, and even Rio keep things light and sunny. Choose Emery if you want a name that works hard, laughs loud, and leaves a sprinkle of stardust—igual que una estrella fugaz en una noche de verano.
