Emmett is a unisex given name primarily used for males, and is also used as a surname. It may be connected to the given name Emma, or the place of Emmott, Lancashire (now known as Laneshawbridge, but still containing Emmott Hall),[1] or it is connected to the Hebrew word אמת (emét), "Truth". It could, however, also come from the old English word for an ant, as still used in Cornwall.[citation needed]
