From Germanic

Emmie means whole or universal — the IE-ending diminutive of Emma/Emily. It's the most compact, most affectionate version of the most popular name family of the 2000s-2010s. The IE-ending adds warmth that the standard Emmy doesn't carry. Two syllables of universal wholeness in the sweetest possible package.
