Emmet

Emmet is a name of English origin, derived from the Germanic name 'Emmett', which means 'truth' or 'universal'. The name's roots can be traced back to the Old German word 'emi' meaning 'entire' or 'complete'.

In the Middle Ages, the name was introduced to England by Norman settlers and was initially spelled as 'Emet' or 'Emit'. Over time, the spelling evolved to its current form, 'Emmet'.

The name carries connotations of honesty, integrity, and a commitment to truth. It may have been given to children with the hope that they would grow to embody these virtues and lead a life guided by principles of truthfulness and sincerity.

While not as common as some other English names, Emmet has remained a consistent choice among parents, particularly those of English or Irish descent. It has a strong, masculine sound and a timeless quality that appeals to many.
