Emanuel (from Hebrew, meaning god with us) is a masculine given name, the Portuguese, Romanian, Spanish, Czech, Dutch, German, Hungarian, Croatian, Scandinavian form of the English name Emmanuel. The name Emanuel is quite popular in Brazil and has become more common than its primary form, Manuel (Manoel in archaic Portuguese). In German-speaking countries, Emanuel is a well-established name in Austria, Germany, Switzerland, and Liechtenstein.
The name Emanuel is regarded as a symbolic and religious name strongly associated with Judaism and Christianity. The Italian name Emanuele (with a single "m") is influenced by German culture and coexists with the unpopular form Emmanuele. The Old French name Émael is also occasionally used as an apocopated form of the name Emanuel. In the Hungarian language, the name Emanuel is written as Emánuel (with an accent on the "á"). The name Emanuel also has three variants in Romanian: Emanuel, Emanuil, and Emanoil.[1]
