Emrys
Emrys is a Welsh name derived from the word 'ymrysson', meaning 'immortal'. It is most famously associated with the legendary wizard Merlin, whose Welsh name was Myrddin Emrys.
In Arthurian legends, Emrys was the name given to Merlin at birth, as a foundling child. It is believed to have been a title or epithet that later became his name.
The name Emrys has been used as a masculine given name in Wales, particularly in honor of the famous wizard of Welsh mythology and Arthurian legend.
While not a very common name today, it has been occasionally used by parents who are drawn to its connection with Welsh history and legend, or its unique and mystical meaning.
