Emmerich

Germanic name, in which the second element is rih "ruler, king" [2] . The first element may be irmin "whole, great" (making it a relative of Ermenrich ), amal "unceasing, vigorous, brave" (making it a relative of Amalric ) or heim "home" (making it a relative of Henry ) [3] [4] [5] [6] . It is likely that several forms merged into a single name.
