The name Emmerson.

Hello,
My Great-Great Grandfather's name was John Emmerson Currah b.1879 in Westmorland, England.
I wondered how he got this middle name, alot of the male's in his family had the christian name Emmerson.
I wondered if way back that somebody with the surname Currah married a lady with the surname Emmerson and gave that name to their children and so on. I know this is common in scotland to give your children a maternal surname as middle name.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Thanks
Mark!!!
