Hi all I would appreciate any and all help with the origins of the name Emling- Emerling-Emmerling. I have found members of the same family using all three variations. Thank you in advance.

Could not find the name as given but did find: EMLYN (English) Variation of EMMETT, from a Middle English diminutive of the female given name "Emma", introduced into England by the Normans, among whom it was extremely popular. The name is of Germanic origin, originally apparently a form of women's names with a first element "ermin" (entire). Source: A Dictionary of Surnames by Patrick Hanks and Flavia Hodges. EMMERING (German) One who came from Emmering (watery place), the name of three places in Germany. Source: New Dictionary of American Family Names by E.C. Smith.
