Emmy is a feminine (sometimes also masculine) given name.
Orthographic variants include Emme, Emmi, Emmie. The name is in many instances a hypocoristic of either Emma (itself being in origin a hypocoristic of a number of ancient Germanic names beginning in ermen) or (more rarely) Emily, or Emmanuel (Emmanuelle). It came to be used as a separate (rare) German name, given officially in Germany from the later 19th century.
As an officially given feminine name, Emmy ranked 66th in Sweden and 89th in France as of 2010. Emmy is rarely also encountered as a surname.
