About the name Emre
Emre is a boy name of Turkish origin meaning "friend, brother". It is most commonly used in Muslim families and is especially popular in Turkey.
Emre is a Turkish name meaning friend or elder brother, most associated with Yunus Emre, the 13th-century Anatolian poet whose verses are still recited and set to music across Turkey. Because of that it reads as warm and literary rather than religious, and it is a frequent choice among Turkish families in Germany and the Netherlands.
Popularity trend: Emre has held a steady level of use rather than spiking or fading.
