Work ruler
Amerie is a modern variation of the name Amery or Emery, which stems from the Germanic name Amalric. It combines the elements 'amal', meaning work or industriousness, and 'ric', meaning power or ruler. While it has ancient roots, this specific spelling gained contemporary visibility through popular culture in the early 2000s.
