Meaning & History
Probably from Arabic أَمِير (amir) meaning "prince, commander" and Persian گونه (gune) meaning "kind, type, sort". This was the name of several people from 17th- and 18th-century Iran, including a 17th-century governor of Yerevan after whom the Istanbul neighborhood of Emirgan is named.
