The etymology of Aymerich is debated among scholars of onomastics, Occitan language, Catalan language, Old French, and Latin philology. Comparative studies reference roots in Ægidius variants, Aimeric de Narbonne lineages, and Germanic anthroponyms such as those linked to Aymar and Haimo. Linguists correlate forms recorded in Cartulary of Ripoll, Liber Feudorum Maior, and documents from Kingdom of Aragon chancelleries with phonological shifts discussed by researchers affiliated with the Real Academia Española, Institut d'Estudis Catalans, and the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique.
