Emeryn

Variant of Emerine.

In Welsh, "-yn" is the masculine suffix to create singular nouns and is used in creating the diminutive for masculine names.  Therefore,

1. Emeryn is the Welsh spelling of Emeran and by applying the Welsh pattern for masculine diminutives, Emery becomes Emeryn.

2.  Emeryn is a spelling of Emryn, the diminutive for Emrys, the Welsh of Ambrose, meaning "immortal".  Since "-yn" is singular, Emeryn/ Emryn means "immortal one". 

Therefore, note also that “-ryn” does not mean “ruler”.  Generally, Rynn is an English diminutive of another name.  Only the Germanic forms, Emerick, Emerich with the second element, ric, rich or Old Norse rikr mean “ruler”. 

Origin & Use:  Emeryn and Emryn are Welsh variants first appearing in Wales in the 1500's.  Neither are used in Ireland or France.  Therefore, Emeryn is not a form of French, Emerine or Irish, Emer.  Emeryn is pronounced differently than Emer.  Emer is the anglicized form of Eimhear, pronounced "Ee-ver" or sometimes, "Ee-mer".  (Gaelic "mh" is said "v".)  The masculine form of Irish Emer is Eimhin or Evin.

Popularity:  As seen from U.S. Social Security Card Applications (SSA), Emryn/Emeryn are rare masculine names.  Feminine use is exceedingly rare and limited to the United States, only gaining momentum after 2017.
