Would the name EMRICK be considered as derived from Emmering? Or does it have a different derivation? -----Original Message----- From: LaChance [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, April 26, 2001 7:29 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [SURNAME-ORIGINS] Origins of Emling-Emerling-Emmerling 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.
