Emori

Emori is a modern spelling related to Emory and Emery, names connected with the older Germanic Emmerich family. That family has more than one proposed first element, so “industrious” is a traditional explanation rather than a complete certain translation of every form. The modern final i does not supply a separate ancient meaning.

A character named Emori in the television series The 100 gives this spelling a specific cultural association. Emory and Emery are the closest comparisons for its English-language use. A Japanese name written Emori would require its own characters to establish a meaning, so a phrase such as “painting forest” should not automatically be attached to the English spelling without that evidence.
