Meaning
modern variant of Emery, from the Germanic Emmerich: 'ruler' is sure, the first element debated (great, vigorous, or home)
The story
Emerie is Emery wearing its newest spelling, and Emery is a name with a thousand years of paperwork: the Norman French form of the Germanic Emmerich, brought to England after the Conquest. The scholars are sure of the second element, "ruler," and cheerfully divided on the first: great, says one reading; vigorous, says another; home, says a third, and several old names probably merged on the way. The -ie ending is the modern chapter: 36 girls in the 1990s, 582 in the 2000s, 3,113 across the 2010s, and 3,152 already since 2020, past the full 2010s total with years still on the clock. It rhymes with Emily and files next to Emerson. A medieval ruler's name that now reads soft as a lullaby, with ten centuries of paperwork behind the softness.

Austria
last on record 2024

The count never rose above 1 in a year, too few to chart.
Live births in Austria by year of birth, 1984–2025, from Statistik Austria’s first-name statistics; spellings that differ only by special characters are counted together (umlauts stay apart), every name down to a single birth is published, and the count covers babies with Austrian citizenship only until 2009, every baby from 2010, and from 2015 also births abroad to mothers living in Austria. Shares divide by Statistik Austria’s count of live births from 2010, and before that by the file’s own total for the year.

Not on the record in Spain, Mexico City, Argentina, Puerto Rico, Ireland, New Zealand, Scotland and Poland: those registries withhold small counts, so rare uses may sit below their floors.
Not on the Chile record: nametree keeps spellings that reached 5 registrations in some year, so rarer uses are not shown. Not on the Montevideo record for 1940 to 2011: that registry withholds nothing, so this spelling was not given there in those years. Not on the France record: nametree keeps spellings that reached 20 births in some year, so rarer uses are not shown. Not on the South Australia record for 1944 to 2017: that registry withholds nothing, so this spelling was not given there in those years. Not on Norway’s list: Statistics Norway lists only first names carried by 200 or more living people, so rarer names are not shown.
