Emmerich Kálmán (Hungarian: Kálmán Imre; 1882 – 1953) was a Hungarian composer of operettas and a prominent figure in the development of Viennese operetta in the 20th century. Among his most popular works are Die Csárdásfürstin (1915) and Gräfin Mariza (1924). Influences on his compositional style include Hungarian folk music (such as the csárdás), the Viennese style of precursors such as Johann Strauss II and Franz Lehár, and, in his later works, American jazz. As a result of the Anschluss, Kálmán and his family fled to Paris and then to the United States.
I've totally fallen in love with this name recently. It's so strong, sexy, masculine, and quintessentially Hungarian, and also calls to mind a sensitive artist or poet. I'm particularly fond of the diminutive Imcsi.
Archduke Imre Emanuel Simeon Jean Carl Marcus d'Aviano of Austria is the second child and first son of Archduke Carl Christian and Archduchess Marie-Astrid of Austria. Imre, born 8 December 1985, is a great-grandson of Emperor Charles I of Austria.
"Imre" is the title of (and the name of the love interest in) a short novel by Edward Prime-Stevenson, which was the earliest English-language book about gay characters that had a happy ending.

Alanis Morissette's son's name is Ever Imre Morissette-Treadway.
I believe Imre is the Hungarian version of Henry. My grandfather's family were all born in Hungary and his brother was named Imre. He changed it to Henry after emmigrating to the USA.
