Emajean is a unique and elegant name of American origin, derived from the combination of the names Emma and Jean. It has gained popularity as an independent given name in recent years, particularly in the United States. The name Emajean consists of three syllables: /eɪ-meɪ-ʒən/. It has no specific meaning or etymology associated with it beyond its composite elements. The name Emma is derived from the Germanic words "ermen," meaning "whole" or "universal," while Jean is a French form of the Hebrew name John, which means "God is gracious." Therefore, combining these names results in a moniker that has a modern and sophisticated sound while still carrying historical roots.
Emajean had a brief peak in popularity with six births in 1923, followed by several years of no recorded occurrences until five births each in 1929, 1938, and 1942. Overall, there were twenty-one babies named Emajean born during these four years.
