Emori
About Emori
This spelling variation of the already-fashionable Emery takes the name further from its Old Germanic origins in Emmerich. With its trendy -i ending, its distinctive o in the middle, and its visual similarities to rising stars like Azari, Imani, and Amari, Emori is now four times as popular is it was a decade ago.
The Emori spelling was used for a recurring character in the post-apocalyptic TV series The 100 which may have increased its visibility. Given to around 130 girls and a handful of boys each year, it is still currently trending upwards.
Emori is also used as a Japanese name, which could mean "painting + forest".
Pronounced EM-or-ee.
As of October 2026, Emori ranked #1564 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #1523 in 2024.
Editor's take: The name Emori is a girl's name meaning "industrious".
