Origin
Meaning and history of Emyrson
The name Emyrson is a relatively modern invention, with no clear origins in any specific language or culture. It appears to be a combination of the names Emily and Erson, with the latter being a variation of the more common Erson or Erikson.
While the name Emyrson itself has no known historical references or appearances in ancient texts or religious scriptures, its component parts can be traced back to various sources. Emily is a English name derived from the Roman family name Aemilius, which itself may have been derived from the Greek word "aimulos" meaning "persuasive" or "cunning." Erson, on the other hand, is a Scandinavian name that means "son of Eric," with Eric being a name of Germanic origin meaning "ever-ruler" or "eternal ruler."
The earliest recorded examples of the name Emyrson are relatively recent, with the first known instances appearing in the late 20th century. Despite its modern origins, there are a few notable individuals who have borne this name throughout history.

Another notable Emyrson was Emyrson Rodrigues, a Brazilian football player who played as a midfielder for various clubs in Brazil and Mexico between the 1970s and 1990s. He was part of the Brazilian national team that won the 1989 Copa América.
In the field of literature, Emyrson Paget was an American author and poet who lived in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He is best known for his collection of poems titled "The Wanderer's Way," published in 1912.

FAQ
Emyrson: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Emyrson?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 66 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Emyrson 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 5,193,248 US residents.
Is Emyrson a common name?
We classify Emyrson as "Very Rare". It ranks above 58.4% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 66 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Emyrson most popular?
The single biggest year for Emyrson was 2022, when 22 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Emyrson is about 8 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 Emyrson in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Emyrson a female name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Emyrson 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 Emyrson still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Emyrson 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 Emyrson 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.
