Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Emmerich je nemecká podoba staršieho germánskeho mena, ktorého druhý člen súvisí so starohornonemeckým rīhhi vo význame „mocný, vládca“. Prvý člen sa vykladá rozlične: meno sa spája s podobami Amalrich, Ermenrich aj Heimerich. Môže teda vychádzať z prvkov amal („úsilie; zdatný, statočný“), irmin („veľký, všeobsiahly“) alebo heim („domov, sídlo“). Viaceré pôvodne samostatné menné podoby pravdepodobne časom splynuli. S Emmerichom historicky súvisia slovenské meno Imrich a maďarské Imre.
