From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Emmett is a unisex
given name primarily used for males, and is also used as a
surname . It may be connected to the given name
Emma , or the place of
Emmott, Lancashire (now known as
Laneshawbridge , but still containing
Emmott Hall ),
[1] or it is connected to the Hebrew word אמת (
emét ), "Truth", or old Persian word (
امید ), "Hope or Aspiration". It could, however, also come from the old English word for an
ant , as still used in Cornwall.[
