What Does the Name Emryss Mean?
Emryss means "immortal" and is an English spelling variant of the Welsh name Emrys, which derives from the Latin name Ambrosius. Ambrosius comes from Greek ambrosios, formed from a- "not" and brotos "mortal"; its literal sense is "not mortal," commonly rendered "immortal." The doubled final s belongs to the English spelling rather than to the Welsh form.
Emryss Name History & Origins
Emrys is the Welsh counterpart of Latin Ambrosius. In early Britain the Latin name was borne by Ambrosius Aurelianus, a Romano-British leader of the fifth century mentioned by the writer Gildas; Welsh tradition remembers him as Emrys Wledig. The name also appears in medieval Welsh tradition as Myrddin Emrys, the figure later associated with Merlin.
