Etymology / Origin
- Emmett: The given name Emmett is derived from the English surname “Emmett,” which itself originates from the medieval given name Emma (of Germanic origin, meaning “universal” or “whole”) combined with the diminutive suffix “‑et.” It may also be linked to the Irish surname “Éamonn,” an Anglicized form of “Eóin” (John).
- Morehead: The surname Morehead is of Anglo‑Scottish origin. It is generally interpreted as a topographic name meaning “the head of a moor” or “the principal point of a hill,” derived from the Old English elements mor (“moor, marsh”) and hēafod (“head, top”). Variants include “Morehade” and “Moreshead.”
