Emhyr
eh-meer
Origin:Welsh
Meaning:King, lord, ruler
Emhyr is a masculine name for the little one you'll teach to use their leadership abilities for good. Fans of the book and TV series The Witcher will recognize this spelling of Emhyr, as it's the title given to one of the series' most fearsome villains. The emperor of the Nilfgaardian Empire, Emhyr var Emreis is depicted as an aggressive and ruthless ruler. Fittingly, the name Emhyr means "king," "lord," or "ruler" in Welsh. While the fictional emperor Emhyr did not demonstrate the qualities of a decent and just leader, your little one can be guided to do things differently. From their kindness towards friends to their willingness to stand up for what's right, your Emhyr's actions can have an uplifting impact on those around them.
