Universal or whole
Emmet is a masculine variant of the name Emma, derived from the Germanic word 'ermen'. It signifies totality or universality and has historically been used as both a surname and a given name. While the spelling 'Emmett' is more common in the United States, this single-t version offers a leaner, more streamlined appearance.
