"Emmy" for the Emmy Awards is the feminization of the word "Immy" meaning the image-orthicon camera tube, which was instrumental in the development of television.
"“Immy” was feminized as “Emmy” to complement the design chosen for the statuette, which depicted a winged, idealized woman holding an atom. Her wings represented the muse of art, and the atom and its electrons the science and technology of the new medium. The Television Academy rejected 47 proposals before accepting the statuette designed by television engineer Louis McManus, whose wife served as its model."

Emmy is a nickname usually for Emma, or Emily. Amy, Mandy, Manda those are usually ones for Amanda.
