About Emma Thompson

Go back to names list

With her uncanny ability to combine humor and poignancy, actress-writer Emma Thompson rose from the London stage to international film and television acclaim, whose most famous roles include the Harry Potter series, “Sense and Sensibility” and “Love Actually.” Originally a Frankish name, Emma is a short form of names including Ermintrude, where ‘erm’ means ‘entire’. Introduced to England by the Normans, the name grew in popularity thanks to it being the name of Edward the Confessor’s mother. Existed in moderation in the 20th century, until the 1970s, since which it has continued to grow in visibility.
