"Emet" means "truth" indeed in Hebrew, bt I haven't heard of it as a name.

I have however heard the surname Emmett used as a given name; it is stressed on the first syllable (and I would guess Emet is on the second), but if namers are used to hearing Emmett then Emet might not seem like much of a stretch.

The Hebrew vocabulary word EMET is also stressed on the first syllable

Sorry, I was wrong and you were right ...I looked it up and realised that it is e-MET as you had guessed. Sorry!

Told you I was guessing! Thanks, Andy. Probably counts as another crumb of evidence for my theory ...All the best
