Emre

See also: Imre and İmre

Turkish

Etymology

From Old Turkic (amran-, “to love, desire”). Also related to Old Turkic (amrıl-, “to be quiet”), (amul, “gentle, quiet”), derived from Proto-Turkic *ăm-. The verb Turkish imrenmek (“to love, desire/to feel a longing”) has been based on a same origin.^[1] Turkic Khagan Amrak is the oldest known bearer of this name. Yunus Emre, Tapduk Emre and similar Old Turkish bards/folk poets have used the "Emre" as nickname or title. Altaicists compare to Mongolian амар (amar, “rest, bliss”).^[2]
