Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Emerich je variant mena Emmerich a etymologicky súvisí so slovenským menom Imrich. Druhá zložka mena pochádza zo starohornonemeckého rīhhi vo význame „mocný, vládca“. Prvá zložka sa vykladá nejednotne: spája sa s germánskymi základmi amal „činorodý, schopný, udatný“, irmin „veľký, všeobsiahly“ alebo heim „domov“; pravdepodobne došlo k splynutiu viacerých pôvodných mien.
