Emmett

The name Emmett is a boy's name of Hebrew, German, English origin meaning "universal". Emmett, honest and sincere, laid-back and creative, is on the rise as a male cognate of the megapopular Emma and Emily, not to mention being a character in the popular Twilight series. Emmett originated in England as a masculine diminutive of the German Emma; the Hebrew characters pronounced eh-MEHT mean truth, so that might be considered another definition. Emmet is another, less popular spelling. The death of young Emmett Till helped spark the civil rights movement.
