The distinguished German surname Emmele is of two possible origins. Firstly, it is derived from "Emmel," the name of a town located near the city of Trier in the Rhineland-Palatinate region on the Mosel River. In this case, the original bearer of the name would have been a native of this town. Alternatively, the name may be derived from the personal name Amale, which is itself derived from the Old High German "amassig," meaning "perseverance."
