Meaning and history of Emmamarie
The name Emmamarie is a combination of the names Emma and Marie, both of which have distinct origins and histories. Emma is a Germanic name that emerged in the 8th century and is derived from the Old German word "ermen", meaning "whole" or "universal". It was initially a short form of Germanic names like Irmingard or Ermentrude.
Marie, on the other hand, is a French variant of the Latin name Maria, which comes from the Hebrew name Miryam. The name Maria has its roots in ancient Egypt and was popularized by early Christians in honor of the Virgin Mary, the mother of Jesus.
In terms of historical references, the name Emma can be found in various ancient texts and documents. One notable mention is in the Domesday Book of 1086, which recorded land ownership in England after the Norman Conquest. The name Marie has a long tradition in Christian literature and art, appearing frequently in religious texts and artworks depicting the Virgin Mary.
Among the earliest recorded examples of the name Emma are Emma of Normandy (c. 985-1052), the wife of two Anglo-Saxon kings of England, and Emma of Lesum (c. 980-1038), a German nun and mystic. As for Marie, one of the earliest prominent figures with this name was Marie de France (fl. 1160-1215), a medieval French poet.
Throughout history, there have been several notable individuals with the name Emma or Marie. These include Emma of Saxe-Lauenburg (c. 1030-1109), a Danish queen consort; Emma Peel (1939-2022), a fictional character from the British television series "The Avengers"; Marie Antoinette (1755-1793), the last Queen of France before the French Revolution; Marie Curie (1867-1934), the pioneering Polish physicist and chemist; and Marie de' Medici (1575-1642), a Queen of France and regent for her son, Louis XIII.

FAQ
Emmamarie: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Emmamarie?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 206 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Emmamarie 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 1,663,856 US residents.
Is Emmamarie a common name?
We classify Emmamarie as "Very Rare". It ranks above 74.6% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 208 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Emmamarie most popular?
The single biggest year for Emmamarie was 2015, when 16 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Emmamarie is about 15 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 Emmamarie in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Emmamarie a female name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Emmamarie in the SSA data are female. 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 Emmamarie still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Emmamarie 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 Emmamarie 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.
