Meaning and history
Amery is an English and French name derived from a medieval Germanic personal name, commonly represented as Amalric or Emmerich. Its second element means “ruler” or “power,” while interpretation of the first element varies and may relate to work or the Amal people; a precise overall translation is therefore uncertain. It later became an English surname and then returned to given-name use. Amory is a closely related spelling, borne by American energy analyst and physicist Amory Lovins.
In 2025, 26 babies were recorded with the name Amery, ranking #4,987 among girls.
