From the moment you meet baby, they are sure to be your entire universe! So, consider the musical name Emmylou, a feminine moniker of German and American origin. Meaning “entire” or “universal,” Emmylou is a combination of the names Emmy or Emma and Lou. This lyrical choice also belongs to singer and songwriter Emmylou Harris, who is considered one of the most important and influential country singers in the world, giving us songs like “Sweet Dreams,“ “Boulder to Birmingham,” and “Red Girl Dirt.” In fact, she even inspired the beautiful song “Emmylou” by First Aid Kit, giving baby a built-in lullaby to rock them to sleep.
