Emma means whole or universal. I have looked up my name before. The name is originally from Germany and was later introduced to England. It was introduced to England by Emma of Normandy, she was the wife of both King Ethered and King Cantue. It was a common name in England. There is also a poem called," Henry and Emma." This poem helped revive the name. The first word I chose was school, and I think that is very appropriate. School was at first a Latin word pronounced Schola. The second word i chose was book and this was from Germany. It was written bokiz. Finally I chose pencil as my third word. It is from old France and written as pencil.

SCOTT surname by early 12c Old English Scottas (plural) "inhabitants of Ireland, Irishmen," Scottie from Late Latin Scotti (c. 400), of uncertain origin, perhaps from Celtic (but answering to no known tribal name; Irish Scots appears to be a Latin borrowing).

HINKLE has a long Anglo-Saxon heritage. The name comes from when a family lived at Hinckley, in Leicestershire.
