For at least curious reason and that apparently is the name by which he was known before his arrival in January Laliga 2019 when he landed in Sevilla from Barcelona who had bought their rights.
The origin of the nickname Emerson Royal
Since the source comes from something as simple as a brand known worldwide gelatins and very popular also in South America. We talk of course about the Royal jellies. Brazilian footballer confessed some time ago in an interview with a Brazilian medium why his nickname.
Apparently his aunt took him resemblance to the mascot of gelatin, because the player opened his mouth wide small when she cried. “As I wept for all, my aunt took me this nickname. I got used and today know me as Royal, not as Emerson” he explained to espn Brazil in February 2019.
