Emeric

Pronounced EM-er-ik

boy

Not found in the KJV text — No — the name Emeric does not appear in the King James Bible. Christian families use it for its meaning, "Power; Ruler of work", and for the biblical themes that meaning touches, not because anyone in Scripture is called Emeric.

Meaning: "Power; Ruler of work"
Origin: Germanic

Emeric combines power with productive work — reflecting God's design for human vocation. 'Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might.' Work done for God's glory carries divine power and eternal significance.

Spiritual meaning

Emeric transforms work into worship — doing everything heartily, as unto the Lord, with divine power and purpose.

Questions about biblical name meanings

How do I find the biblical meaning of a name?

Type the name into the search box above. The tool returns the Hebrew, Greek, Aramaic, or Latin root behind the name, its literal meaning, and the King James Version passages where it appears.

Does every name have a biblical meaning?

No. Many modern Christian names never appear in Scripture, and some popular 'biblical meanings' circulating online are inaccurate. Where a name is thematic rather than scriptural, we say so plainly instead of inventing a verse for it.

Which Bible translation do the verses come from?

The King James Version. It is public domain in the United States, so the text can be quoted and shared freely.

How can I tell whether a name is actually in the Bible?

Each result distinguishes a name that appears in the KJV from a later Christian or thematic name. Related verses explain a theme; they are not presented as proof that a modern name occurs in Scripture.
