Origin: Welsh

Meaning: Immortal; Ruler

Why not honor your unconditional love for baby by calling them Emryn? This girl's moniker comes from its male counterpart, Emrys, with both names meaning "immortal" in Welsh. Ryn adds a second dash of power to Emryn as it translates to "ruler," making your little one a natural-born leader. It is believed that military leader Emrys Wledig or Ambrosius Aurelianus, who defended Britain from invading forces in the 5th century, inspired the character of Merlin in the Arthurian tales. Emryn also shares a Greek connection with Ambrosios or Ambrose. Also meaning "immortal," Ambrose was considered the nectar of the gods in Greek mythology and created everlasting life in any human who drank it. Although we can't confirm whether this eternal life-giving beverage exists, we are confident baby Emryn will always be loved no matter what!
