The Emblot family name is linked to the ancient Anglo-Saxon culture of Britain. Their name comes from the name of an ancestor as in the 'son of Emelin,' popularly Emlin and (with intrusive b) Emblin. Emblem is an imitative corruption. 1 Early Origins of the Emblot familyThe surname Emblot was first found in Dorset where the first on record was found in the Domesday Book of 1086.
