Emma: (Old German) universal, all-embracing, all-containing

Emma might be a form of Erma, a short form of various names which begin with the Germanic element Erm(en), Irm(en) which can mean ’strong’ but is more literally translated as “whole” or “universal”.

For some, it is a diminutive of Emmanuelle.

In Jane Austen’s novel “Emma” (1816), Emma Woodhouse was designed by Jane Austen to be a character that no-one but her would actually like. The movie “Clueless” (1995) starring Alicia Silverstone was based off of Austen’s classic novel.

Emma Bovary is the famous protagonist of French novelist Flaubert’s “Madame Bovary”.

* Although the name Emma creates the urge to be reliable and responsible, we emphasize that it causes a restless intensity that defies relaxation.

* This name, when combined with the last name, can frustrate happiness, contentment, and success, as well as cause health weaknesses in the solar plexus, and through worry and mental tension.

* The name of Emma creates a restless, creative nature that takes you into many ventures, but does not allow you to see things through to a satisfactory completion.

* Yours is a versatile, musical, artistic, but independent nature and you must have the freedom to express your creative ideas and abilities to be happy.

* An urge for independence causes dissatisfaction and frustration in close relationships and you find the “ties that bind” restricting.

* The qualities of this name would find a more constructive outlet in work that involves high-pressure selling or promotional activities, possibly in community affairs, for it contains a positive, driving power.
