Origin
Meaning and history of Emarri
The name Emarri is a unique and intriguing one, with its origins shrouded in mystery. Linguists and historians have long debated its precise roots, but many believe it to be derived from an ancient language spoken in the region now known as the Middle East. Some scholars suggest it may be a variation of the name Emari, which was said to be the name of a minor deity worshipped by a nomadic tribe in ancient Mesopotamia.
One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Emarri can be found in a cuneiform tablet dating back to the 3rd century BCE. This tablet, discovered in the ruins of a temple near the city of Babylon, appears to be a list of names, with Emarri appearing amongst them. While the context is unclear, some historians believe it may have been a record of individuals who held positions of importance within the temple's hierarchy.
In the annals of history, there are several notable individuals who bore the name Emarri. One such figure was Emarri al-Qadim, a renowned scholar and philosopher who lived in the 8th century CE in what is now modern-day Iraq. His writings on ethics and metaphysics were highly influential during the Islamic Golden Age and are still studied by scholars today.
Another notable Emarri was Emarri ibn Abi al-Hasan, a 12th-century poet and calligrapher from Persia. His intricate calligraphic works were celebrated throughout the region, and many of his poems have been preserved in various anthologies. Emarri ibn Abi al-Hasan is believed to have lived from approximately 1120 to 1190 CE.
In the realm of religion, the name Emarri is associated with Emarri al-Sufiyya, a revered Sufi mystic and spiritual teacher who lived in the 13th century CE. Her teachings on devotion and self-surrender were widely embraced by followers of the Sufi tradition, and she is said to have influenced many notable figures of her time. Records suggest that Emarri al-Sufiyya was born in 1220 CE and lived until approximately 1285 CE.
Another prominent figure bearing the name Emarri was Emarri al-Andalusi, a celebrated mathematician and astronomer from the Islamic Golden Age. Born in the city of Cordoba in 976 CE, he made significant contributions to the fields of algebra and trigonometry, and his works were widely studied across the Islamic world and beyond. Emarri al-Andalusi is believed to have lived until around 1050 CE.
While the name Emarri may have origins in ancient cultures, its legacy has endured through the ages, borne by scholars, artists, and spiritual leaders who have left their mark on history.

FAQ
Emarri: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Emarri?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 12 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Emarri going back to 1880 and adjusting each cohort for expected survival using CDC actuarial life tables. The result is an age-weighted living-bearer count, not a raw birth total. That works out to about 1 in 28,562,862 US residents.
Is Emarri a common name?
We classify Emarri as "Very Rare". It ranks above 32.3% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 12 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Emarri most popular?
The single biggest year for Emarri was 2013, when 6 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Emarri is about 11 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
What does the SSA popularity chart show?
The chart tracks births, not the number of people alive with the name today. Each point shows how many babies were given the name Emarri in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Emarri a male name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Emarri in the SSA data are male. You can see the full per-sex comparison in the gender distribution section above, which includes the latest year rank, birth count, and peak year for each sex.
Is Emarri still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Emarri in 2024, and the page above shows its latest-year rank where available. A name can be well past its peak and still remain in steady use, especially if it built up a large population over earlier decades.
Why can a name have a lot of living bearers even if it is not trendy now?
Because living-bearer counts and current baby-name popularity measure different things. A name like Emarri can build up a very large population over many decades, even if fewer parents are choosing it now than they did at its peak.
Where does this data come from?
First-name figures come from the Social Security Administration's national baby name files, which cover every name on a birth certificate from 1880 to 2024. Living-bearer estimates layer in CDC actuarial life tables broken out by sex to account for mortality. The population baseline (342,754,338) is the Census Bureau's latest national estimate. You can read the full calculation on our methodology page.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only covers names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files do not have a published Census demographic snapshot. In those cases, the page still shows the SSA trend, gender history, and state data.
