Emersyn, a variant of the name Emerson, is a patronymic surname-turned-given-name that means "son of Emery," with Emery coming from the German name Emmerich or the English word for a type of hard black substance. It first appeared in the Social Security Administration's top 1,000 for girl names in 2010 and has now been a top-150 girl's name every year since 2018 (with the exception of 2020). In fact, Emersyn has been the preferred spelling over the traditional Emerson every year since 2019.
