  3. Emrys

    • Description:

      Emrys is a name of Welsh origin traditionally used for boys but increasingly adopted as a feminine name. With roots in Welsh mythology, it's associated with the legendary figure Myrddin Emrys, known in English as Merlin the wizard. The name means 'immortal' or 'divine,' lending it a mystical quality that appeals to parents drawn to names with magical or legendary associations. While relatively uncommon in the United States, Emrys has maintained steady usage in Wales and is gaining interest elsewhere among parents seeking Celtic-inspired names. As a feminine choice, it offers a distinctive alternative to more common names while carrying rich historical resonance. Its short, two-syllable pronunciation (EM-riss) makes it accessible despite its unusual spelling.
