Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Imrich je slovenská podoba nemeckého mena Emmerich, sprostredkovaná latinskými podobami Emericus a Emmericus a súvisiaca aj s maďarským menom Imre. Meno sa najčastejšie spája so starohornonemeckým Amalrich, zloženým z prvkov amal (námaha, pracovitosť) a rīhhi (mocný, vládca). Iné výklady odvodzujú jeho prvú časť od heim (domov) alebo od irmin (veľký, všezahrnujúci).
