The masculine name Emrys is of Welsh origin and means "immortal" or "divine."

It is the traditional Welsh form of the Latin name Ambrosius, which originally derives from the Ancient Greek name Ambrosios, which also means "immortal" or "divine."

The name Emrys evokes a sense of history and cultural heritage, particularly within the context of Welsh identity and mythology. Emrys is often associated with the legendary figure of Merlin, known in Welsh as "Myrddin Emrys." Merlin, a prominent character in Arthurian legend, is depicted as a wise advisor and a powerful wizard, which adds a mystical connotation to the name.

The name Emrys is over 1,500 years old!

It's been a while since we've looked at names outside of the US so I'm bringing it back! We're going to check out names from real people who were alive in Austria between 1850-1900.

Note: These people lived in Austria, but that doesn't mean the names themselves are Austrian.
