Meaning and history
Emery is the Norman French form of Emmerich, introduced to England by the Normans and surviving, though never widely popular, until the end of the Middle Ages. As a modern given name, now usually feminine, it is likely derived from the surname Emery, which itself came from the medieval given name, and it may also be chosen in reference to emery, the hard black substance.
