Emigrant and immigrant are related words An emigrant is someone who leaves her home country to settle in another country. An immigrant is someone who has come from another country to settle in a new place, usually permanently.

A 15-year-old girl was the first Ellis Island immigrant :

Annie Moore was born on April 24, 1874 and she died on December 6, 1924. She was an Irish emigrant. She was the first person to go through immigration processing at the Ellis Island station when she was 15 year old. As The New York Times reported, the "rosy-cheeked Irish girl" came to America with two younger brothers. Their parents were already in New York waiting for them.
