Isn't that a Merlin reference?
Yeah, here we go: http://www.celtnet.org.uk/gods_m/myrddin_emrys.html
I'd say leoeris is right on, though I'll still contribute: Embryo?
The Oxford Dictionary of English Surnames gives the etymology coming from a number of place names (cross referenicing with the Oxford Dictionary of British Place Names):
Emborough - "flat-topped mound or hill" which recalls Silbury Hill or Glastonbury Tor )the latter being strongly connected with Arthurian legends - an odd second Merlin link)
Hembury - "high or chief fortified hill"
Henbury - unknown start combined with "stronghold or manor house"
Variations (always worth looking out for) include: Embra, Hembrow, Hembra, Hembry and Hembury. They give a "see also" link to Amery (which is Old German Amalric meaning "work-rule" (which is an odd one), the name of numerous kings (from Wikipedia).
Make of that what you will,
