No etymology is suggested
If ancient Mesopotamian languages may be appealed to, the following may be considered. There was a city named Emar on the south-western corner of the great westward bend of the upper Euphrates, mentioned in various cuneiform sources, including Ebla. For its importance to biblical studies, see Paul Hoskisson, *. Semitic languages contain the vocabel ʾmr, meaning “to speak,” from which via Arabic our English word “admiral” comes. This root appears on PNs in Ugarit* in the forms ʾmry and ʾmrʾl, the latter meaning approximately “God speaks/commands.”
Less likely is the East and North-west Semitic vocabel ʾmr, meaning “sheep,” with its Akkadian pronunciation of “immeru(m),” which does appeal in Old Akkadian PNs (Gelb, 46). See also the Sargonic and Ur III Period PNs from Akkadian amāru, “to see” (Gelb, 46), and from imārum, “donkey” (Gelb, 47).[1] Biblical Hebrew ’emer, “branch,” appears in the construct plural ʾimrê in Genesis 49:21 (RFS). Note also the Sumerian vocabel amar, meaning calf.*
Cf. Book of Mormon OMER, EMRON
