    Emery

    Pronounced EM-er-ee

    unisex
    Not found in the KJV text — No — the name Emery does not appear in the King James Bible. Christian families use it for its meaning, "Industrious leader; Brave power", and for the biblical themes that meaning touches, not because anyone in Scripture is called Emery.
    Meaning
    "Industrious leader; Brave power"
    Origin
    Germanic

    Emery combines Germanic roots for 'power' and 'ruler,' speaking of brave, industrious leadership. The Bible celebrates leaders who combined courage with diligence — Nehemiah rebuilt Jerusalem's walls through brave persistence, and Joshua led with bold faith.

    Spiritual meaning

    Emery speaks of courageous industry — the brave, hardworking leadership that accomplishes God's purposes against all odds.

    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.
